Not so far! I cross posted earlier today, having decided that I was reasonably sure that she was going to be given Kubuntu (I have worked thro' PCLinuxOS 2007, CentOS 5.2 and Fedora 9), to try and spread the burden. So time will tell.... But meanwhile she has a usable computer, thanks in very large part to you. It's not that big a deal for her to use KWord for typing in Japanese and OOo for her English Word Processing and, effectively, DTP work. It's merely a pity. And I favoured Kmail for her "Japanese" mail client anyway. From her point of view sending emails in Japanese was a large part of what she wanted to be able to do, since some of her correspondents are young and can't read Romaji. But she also does a lot of writing and was keen to do so on a word processor. (Not to mention doing her "Japanese" homework typed would be an advantage. They mostly have to do so in English.) So, again, many very grateful thanks.
