For my eeepc. Open office is rather bloated for my needs.

Abiword

Much lighter than openoffice

didnt like the system. failed to install

Just use EE

er... doesnt GEDIT do RTF?

Managed to find out that you can upgrade the user interface from standard to a proper KDE one, looks nice

As there is a monitor socket it can be plugged in and run at 1024*768, a bit better resolution than the built in screen.

Still looking for an rtf editor that works on the thing...

Quote from: Seriousdidnt like the system. failed to install

oh ? I assume you tried to download it from that site then...

You should be able to open a terminal and do


 sudo apt-get install abiword


or some im led to believe

I did it the first way and then tried the second.

1 need the repository

2 probably need more space too. Getting a high speed 8GB SD-HC card for it as a boot device.

[edit]
Didnt need the extra space, found out I needed the xandros repositories and got a list. Abiword downloaded and installed successfully in seconds  

Still going to use the memory card tho.

Crunches when I try to do a wordcount

And still takes an age to load RTF files.

Guess I try some cream next, although I doubt if it will be any better.

I Thought I had found something with Tea, but it doesnt seem to want to install properly, the folders are there, but nothing much is in them :/
