Sad, but true.

Well, others say that OpenOffice should be deleted, because it has no
real locale support, contains a lot of "extras" that "nobody needs", is
slow and memory-hungry. Some say their favourite office is abiword.
Others say it's koffice. So, what is the "right" decision? Would a
"vote" not be discriminating against those who have few ram and would
opt for the "smaller" office packages as opposed to those who prefer the
"big" stuff like OpenOffice?

I like xmms very much; if there are more plugins it is also a DVD/VCD
player. Though xine has maybe the more ergonomic look&feel. Just another
problem: For music playing, I like xmms best, and for DVD and VCD xine seems
to be the most capable engine.

Well, waiting for solutions. ;-)
