With KWord (the only app I know well enough), you can
count on most of the GUI remaining stable.  Certain

I don't know much more about SuSE, but with a new user

I also think a nice tutorial, that would bring
together multiple koffice apps, would be a tutorial on
creating a KWord document, creating a kspread

kword......
