People can comment on my free and FOSS package list - OFF the list - or
at least what package should be added or removed from it.
I just added it to the info as a "side note" to my posting.
To be honest, I have not spent much time updating, editing, etc., this
list over the past few years since I started using Linux for my
main/default desktop.
One of the last major add-ons to that list was for LibreOffice.
LO needs to be on list of free and FOSS packages that can, or should, be
included with the installation of packages on a new Windows-based
computer. I keep LO on that needed list up there with security
packages, defrag, doPDF printer, Web of Trust, plus graphics and
audio/video packages.
The more of these essential software/package lists that LO is placed on,
the better it is for LO. We need to get on the "higher profile" lists
than something I made for my community of friends, associates, and those
who find out about it by "word of mouth".

Hi :)
Superb! I just visited that list too and looks like some good names in there
that have a good reputation rather than just being big names (although
sometimes things have both).
Have you tried Gnumeric? If you need a fast, light-weight (but powerful)
dedicated spreadsheet program without worrying about having all the rest of the
programs then Gnumeric kinda knocks the socks off Calc (and Excel)
http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/
but it doesn't have such tight integration with other apps and things in the way Calc has. So,
"it just does what it says on the tin", ie it only does spreadsheet functions. Oh, and
it looks a bit Win98 for it's Gui and website which fools people into missing the power "under
the bonnet". There is a good argument for using Writer for the odd document here or there and
then Gnumeric if you use spreadsheets a LOT.
If you do try Gnumeric please let us know how it compares

Tom :)

Thanks a lot krackedpress and Tom,
After the defragmentation (with Auslogics) nothing fantastic happened (the
data partition was 1% fragmented, and system 9%...).
I have a bookmark on my toolbar which is http://www.lungstrom.com/list/. So
I will have look very soon.

You would not believe how many time I see systems that are 20 to 30 percent
fragmented.
That is one of the causes of file opening bottleneck and slow down. Also it
reduces the life of your drive.
I hope you find the solution that works for your Atom system. I do know that
our developers have been working hard to remove the old coding that made the
earlier version slower.
By chance, what type of spreadsheet calculations are you doing, or how complex is
the cells/sheet? What was your memory settings in the Tools > Options . . .
dialogs. Sometimes the number of objects and memory per objects, and the like can
cause issues. It might help, or not, with you system. I have never dealt with an
Atom-based system before. I heard once that MS's OSs are not too friendly with
the Atom chipset on some boards. But, that was last year. I know that there are
a lot of OS based tweaks that can speed up a system, but you will need someone
else for that, since I use Win7 about 5% of the time and Ubuntu the 95%.
The list was created when I was a Windows-only user and needed to find free
solutions, since some of the software I needed for a new system could cost more
than my rent. I have not gone through all of the links in a long time. When I
find one that is bad, I fix it or remove the listed item. Now I use Linux for
most things since 99.99% of the needed software was free. The one item
[specialty-driver] I needed to buy, no longer is since the color laser printer
died.
The menu bar is a "hover and pop-down" system. You need to click on the
subsection you want.
