stable word processor and spreadsheet with graphs

["joe golden" <jg1024@hotmail.com>]

Hope I'm not pestering the list too much, but I think there are and will be 
others in my situation.

I administer a small network of 10 machines for our small school.

I convinced the board to let me switch the OS from windows NT to Linux.  
(cheers in background)

I need a stable word processor and spreadsheet w/ graphs.  To my knowledge 
staroffice, which is bloated and inefficient, is the only way to get these.

I really don't want to go the M$ huge package deal approach, but I can't 
have flaky programs or programs that don't have the features we need, 
otherwise folks will want to go back to NT.

If abiword were a little more solid and gnumeric had graphs my job would be 
much easier.

Anybody got any suggestions.

Thanks for your time.  Sorry about wining.
