Hi!

German computer magazine c't has tested six office packages for Linux. In 
short - the results ( (++) (+) ( ) (-) (--) -> very good ... very bad ):

               GnomeOffice   Hancom   KOffice   OpenOffice   StarOffice
Version             -          2.0     1.1.1       641C         6.0

Installation       (-)         (++)     (++)       (++)         (++)

Functionality      (+)         (+)      ( )         (+)          (+)

Text part          (-)         (+)      ( )        (++)         (++)

Spreadsheet        (+)         (+)      ( )        (++)         (++)

Usability          ( )         ( )      (+)         (+)          (+)

Stability          (+)         (++)     (-)!        ( )          (+)

- - The good mark for KOffice's usablilty comes from the tight integration.
- - The very good mark for KOffice's installation stems from the fact that it's 
part of almost every distribution already and that it hasn't many lib 
depedencies (that's why Gnome did so badly there).
- - The bad mark for KOffice's stability stems from it being the package that 
most often crashed on them during testing (I hope the KOffice developers 
received all corresponding bug reports; if not, complain to to the authors 
Dieter Brors and Oliver Dietrich at {db,odi}(at)ct.heise.de ;-).
