     Well, for me text processing is most vital.  I'd be interested
to know where to find out more about word processors (and more
advanced kinds of text-layout apps) for Linux.  I work with
words and often _strange_ words, so font manipulation apps
would also be key.  My image processing needs are light, so
something along the lines of PhotoShop would do.

     But I expect I can search for info on this when I've
time, and can stop wittering in the off-topic manner ... :)

Cheers,
Carl
