I didn't encounter any bugs with it on my system, but I didn't use all it's features. It is, like most office productivity suites, pretty resource intensive. I had no problems on my P200 w 128MB of RAM, but noticed the difference in speed on a friend's P90 w 104MB of RAM. I also tried Star Office and found it to be far worse in terms of responsiveness. - Ben -- "I Want To Believe" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
