Review of Hancom Linux 2.01 Standard
ELQ writes: "The Korean-based Hancom Linux announced that the professional version of Hancom Office Suite 2.0 is canned, but the standard version has just been released, four days ago. It seems to be a capable alternative to Star Office, for a very reasonable price. It includes a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation app and a rasterized painting app. OSNews has the review."
An UPDATE was just released.. 2.0.1
Pro is still planned *someday* according
to their last user emailing.. not 'canned' (yet)

Applelinks had a preview a few months ago, and it's worth noting the differences between that review's projected features and the ones revealed in today's review.
But even more important than that is to remember that this Office suite isn't only aimed at Linux. It's also aimed squarely at the MacOSX crowd, which could help expand its market penetration. (Businesses that are slow to adopt Linux on the desktop are often less tentative about permitting MacOSX installations.)
Just for future reference, you can't kill a zombie process, no matter what application creates it. A zombie isn't actually running, or consuming any resource beyond the process table entry - its executable has been unmapped, its file descriptors closed, and its memory returned to the system. It's only purpose at that point is hold the exit status until its parent process examines it. And, a zombie will never be left behind when the parent process exits, as they will be inherited by init, which will reap them immediately.
A programing keeping many zombies around is bad ettiquite for sure, but not really a problem.
