I used StarOffice (upon which OpenOffice is based) for two years while I 
was in Hong Kong, and was very happy with it. Now I'm using a Mac with 
Classic OS, so I don't have the opportunity to give OpenOffice the 
torture test, but it must be pretty similar.

Which reminds me, just recently I was faced with the question of Church 
Management software options. Is anybody familiar with *any* Church 
Management package for Linux. (I'm not talking about databases which can 
be customised, but Church-specific solutions out of the box.)

God bless,

Greg
