My next category should be Internet if I am a young enthusiast but I prefer the office packages that one has to use daily before we browse the Internet since one tends to waste, me too, waste lot of time browsing rather doing some real work.
As a writer, again I go for light weight Abiword and I should look for Sinhala font at the outset.
Its light weight character makes it suitable for CD version of a distribution keeping in mind the download speed is painfully slow in the third world.
Downloading a DVD takes days and even the Simply Mepis 11, I downloaded today with 1.2 GiB took 22 hours. In this contest for the third time the point to point download link broke down for Pocketwriter (Slakware) and currently downloading at 5.5 KB per second and the overnight downloading touched 125 MiB. We are pretty efficient in the third world. That is why I included K-Torrent first which is very good.
I have now changed to LibreOffice since Oracle is trying to make some investment (which it never contributed at the beginning)on Sun Java products including Vesta1. I must congratulate the Open Document team for the excellent work they are doing and I love the French accent of it. It should be a multinational effort and it should include Sinhala capability soon, taking a leaf out of Debian 6.0.0.
Sad to say OpenOffice, I used from its from version 1 and used in the latter part of my thesis completion also is the third due to its heavy consumption of MiBs and commercial take over. It has multi-language capability and that is the reason it is consuming so much of precious MiB and the need a DVD for inclusion in a distribution.
The biggest hindrance is it's Gorilla size weightage and I never see it goes on a diet.
I hate Mega images especially the political type.
