Anyone know any good Open Source word processor?

fuzzbrain Gimp is a little bit more difficult to use than Photoshop, but I think it's just as powerful (I'm not someone who does alot of image manipulation but it's always been adequate for me (after rtfm)).

Thas what I have herd as well. IT is ment to be fine if you just kearn Gimp but worse if you know photoshop well and try to migrate.

I only ever draw penis on photos so I don't need any thing fancy.

eeehhhh

Although if you're writing long documents use LaTeX...

Takes a while to get used to but very powerful.

Word to Latex, bit of a bitch with graphics at times, or take some getting accustomed to but but the quality of document makes anything made in word look like a school project.

Sometimes people get a bit political about other issues on this forum so I guess it's my turn...

One of the clearest areas in which the corporate approach to producing something has many problems is software. I believe that everyone's computing experience would be better if Open Source were the default option and proprietary software were only used as a last result in special cases. There are many reasons for this, but, basically, as the man says, "Software wants to be free" (as in dom). Micro$oft got to where they are partly by turning a blind eye to people giving each other free copies because it allowed them to build up that large user base. Giving away software only helps the big boys. Using open source software helps everyone. Apple's only not evil yet because they're smaller.

Sorry for that but I didn't start this thread and I think there's a connection between fixed gear riding and being politically progressive, and I'm often surprised how few otherwise progressive people and people who espouse an anti-corporate ethos pay so little attention to the importance of open source.
