openSUSE 11.3, LXDE and Office software
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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?

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. On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 9:20 AM, Andrea Florio <andrea@opensuse.org> wrote:

already 5 people sed to point on them.. good.
Epdfview: I prefer Epdfview to any other light weight viewers.
epdfview will be the choise.
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.
diffent points of view bt you have to agree with me that we should provide it. i think to provide claws as default.
Gnucash: I would say not to install a program that most people would not use. I personally use a spreadsheet and mint.com.
i tought a lot about it, and i think i agree.. it's un-usefull Andrea - -- - ------------------------------------------ Andrea Florio QSI International School of Brindisi Sys Admin CISCO CCNA Certified openSUSE-Education Administrator openSUSE Official Member (anubisg1) Email: andrea@opensuse.org Packman Packaging Team Email: andrea@links2linux.de Web: http://packman.links2linux.org/ Cell: +39-328-7365667 - ------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktxk8EACgkQyCZT87TFPugttQCfYDRU0xn0fbKruG/KrrUzK2/2 OcAAoKv1cZuIsaS6uEXsx2QEcW2sQ6Yy =BMnz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org
+1 Telesha. Keep LXDE as small as possible, yet usable. - Mail clients: I don't use them anymore. Thunderbird is big, yet it contains all that you need. - Browser: Seamonkey - No Gnucash. On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 3:30 PM, Marc Telesha <mtelesha@gmail.com> wrote:

as already wrote, claws is a good option as mail client, i agree with no gnucasch. i'm not sure about seamonkey as browser, i'm afraid that firefox is a kind of must have since is the only browser with "everything works with me" that means easier internet access and less users problems Andrea - -- - ------------------------------------------ Andrea Florio QSI International School of Brindisi Sys Admin CISCO CCNA Certified openSUSE-Education Administrator openSUSE Official Member (anubisg1) Email: andrea@opensuse.org Packman Packaging Team Email: andrea@links2linux.de Web: http://packman.links2linux.org/ Cell: +39-328-7365667 - ------------------------------------------ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktxl+EACgkQyCZT87TFPugT6wCfeejvTJhzynDZ1IZvc8I+j8qp cRMAoJwrdOElChbb6DqnoZLP0foPF+eM =GPZj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org
