If one has gmail, we can Preview these Documents via the web browsers :) But I believe that we are ok with the office apps that we have :) koffice(kword,kspread, kpresenter, ...) goffice(abiword, gnumeric, ..., ) OO(openoffice-writer,... ) There is GO OO which is a smaller version of OpenOffice, don't know if it is in the ports or not? Several persons have named TeX/LaTeX , but I *wonder* when TeXLive will replace TeTEX on FreeBSD? NetBSD/OpenBSD already have it, what is taking them too long to include them officially? I know about the builds, and google-code, but it is still not the same :(, like you would get from other systems .
