For those who want a light writer tool, they have kwrite, kate & gedit.
And when a team will create a 4th office suite, 5,6,7,8 -> 8 office suites on
the CD ?
If you aren't sure about the decision, do a poll.

I like XMMS and Xine too (I prefer mplayer to xine but it's an another thing
and libxine will be needed in KDE 3.1) !
But MMboX ( mmbox.tuxfamily.org ) and freevo ( freevo.sf.net ) aren't the same
: they are multimedia center, they are a multimedia interface (like a
multimedia window manager) which can be easily displayed on a TV or a monitor
in the living room.
You'll find, as part, some MMboX screenshots (french default skin - it's
skinnable, a Knoppix skin can be done ;)
