I am trying to switch our small (12 machine) NT network over to Linux. Some
of the main computer applications at our school are web browsing , word
processing and spreadsheets (MS Internet Explorer, Word and Excel).
I am running Linux debian 2.2.18pre21 and just updated last week.
Netscape makes a great replacement for Internet Explorer.
Abiword seems to work OK, but sometimes appears to split lines and I've had
problems importing an image into a document. I haven't used Abiword much,
but have already seen these problems. What is a better alternative that
isn't too bloated. This is the major application we need for the school.
For spreadsheets in school, you need to make graphs. Gnumeric seems slick,
but last time I checked, *no graphs*. I need graphical representation of
data for test scores, etc.
Is Star Office the answer? Can the huge Star office package be broken into
smaller more manageable parts?
Thanks for previous help and thanks in advance,
Joe Golden,
The Stevens School of Peacham
