AbiWord 1.0.1 Released
plam writes "After 3 years of hacking, the AbiWord team has unleashed AbiWord 1.0.1 upon the world. AbiWord is a Free cross-platform word processor which runs on Linux and Windows, MacOS X, QNX, FreeBSD, Solaris and others. AbiWord is small and compact (20 times smaller than OpenOffice!), yet contains most of the features found in larger word processors, including Word and WordPerfect import/export."
anyone else getting the release notes to only show up as html instead of formatted?
I think it should be "1/20th the size".

I hope high gas prices are depriving your children, you fucking dumbass.
Well, apparently it comes with the standard Free Software helpdesk support. However, if being cussed at is not enough, you can pay extra and get punched in the face. :)
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
Sounds dirty...too bad their mascot is an ant :)
[i]any one know of a easy to use linux distro for an IBM pent 133 Thinkpad 760E 32meg ram/1gb hdd and a 3com etherlink III card?[/i]
The latest Red Hat would not be a good choice because it has a suggested install size of 1.2 GB, with a 650MB minimum.
Other than that, a P133/32MB is plenty of machine to run Linux. I'm partial to Debian because it's got a very flexible, powerful packaging system whereby you have a lot of control over what you do and don't install.
Actually my advice is to do a google groups (deja google) search to see what kinds of Linux experience others have had with Thinkpads -- laptop hardware can be kind of particular, and that way you can find out which distros have a proven track record.
