Pretty close.  4.4 is upstream.  Sid is showing me 4.3.99.2 as well

Most of the time I just use Kedit, Kate, Kwrite or Kword.  If I need
real word processing I am starting to lean towards LaTex thanks to
people on this list.

I hear you about feeling grubby.  I've got a few of those nasty little
non-free packages as well.  Flash is one of them.  Why?  So I can see
the ads that I block with Ad Block Plus.  :)

Really, some of the flash sites are too hilarious to miss.

Even the Linux Gazzette on tldp uses flash.  Although they will show
fine using gnash.
