KOffice vs. OpenOffice

[Art Alexion]

When I tried it last, it was far less mature than ooo, and I found  
that the word processor behaved more like a desktop publisher than a  
word processor.

That was a while ago, and you may actually like the framemaker-like  
way of doing things.

I'd stick with ooo if you need ms office compatibility.
