[CLUE-Tech] Hancom Office - A Commercial KDE Application

[Timothy Klein]

When I first switched to Linux a few years ago, I found the lack of an
office suite disconcerting. Today, though, I have no office suite
installed, and I no longer feel the need for one.  I am curious, how many
others use an office suite of apps?

Just curious,

Tim
