The one thing I've noticed lacking in linux is professional business 
software.  Recently, Corel Wordperfect has helped.  Staroffice doesn't work 
for me, and I haven't tried Applixware.  However, the development of Koffice 
has been very exciting!

I was at work today, using an excel spreadsheet to make a mail merge in word, 
specifying an Avery Label type, so that I could print off a couple thousand 
mailing labels in a couple of minutes.  How close is Koffice to having this 
sort of functionality?  I'd really love to use linux at work *big grin*.

Does Killistrator open *.eps files (encapsulated postscript)?

Once the applications that are currently in development have reached a stable 
and fairly mature state, I'd like to see a kde equivalent of quickbooks (pro) 
come along.  Money management software would fill in a big gap for a lot of 
people.

Keep up the good work!
