Why without ooo? At the primary schools in Nittedal (7 in number), ooo is used a lot, and the pupils even seem to like it. I don't see the reason to first learn some other office application, and then change to openoffice later. (Allthough i agree that the pupils adapt quickly when migrating from one office application to another.)
Koffice is also used, and reported via popcon, but that is more or less based on the fact that the teachers and the pupils don't know what programs to use for what purpose. The latter is mostly because there are (IMHO) too many programs to choose from, from the menu, doing the same thing (as ooo and koffice). Some pupils even use kwrite, and belive this is the best office application linux can come up with. ("Microsoft office is much better...!")
So even though popcon reports some popularity for koffice, it might just be because it is chosen "by accident".
In my opinion it is not the end of the world if i have to use 2 cd's to install either, or a dvd, or even run a third stage of installation over the Internet.
We then could introduce add-on-CDs (like the French use) to allow installation of both branches. Just a thought. Regards Ralf.
Just some additional thoughts! Regards Bjarne
