The less avilable the better. I think most people that will use LXDE
want a minimal OS and not something like xubuntu.
Abiword and Gnumeric:
Abiword is GREAT and it is very functional. I really prefer it over OpenOffice.
Gnumeric: Works and gets the job done.
I feel that if a person needs more then these two they will know
enough to zypper in Open Office themselves. I would much rather have
the option of installing Open Office then it being installed when I
don't want it on my older LXDE computer.
Epdfview:
I prefer Epdfview to any other light weight viewers.
Mail Client:
Personally I haven't used one for years. I find that they are to slow
and can cause issues when you use more then one computer. I prefer web
gui.
Gnucash:
I would say not to install a program that most people would not use. I
personally use a spreadsheet and mint.com.

Hi people i have a question for you:
what kind of office software should lxde provide on default 11.3 installation?
*Word processing/spreadsheet & co.*
OpenOffice.org (the best Office application but definetly not lightweight). XFCE suggest to install it
or
Abiword and Gnumeric (never used before so i don't know how good they are now, but they _ARE_ lightweight)
*PDF*
epdfview (imho better) or xpdf
*Mail client*
i have no idea what provide here..
*Money*
should we provide gnucash? probably too many gnome dependencies?
