Debian on Steroids II.1: When a Dot Means a Lot (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal reviews
Libranet 2.8.1. "While Libranet 2.8.1 may be only a dot release, it
is a compelling offering for desktop users looking for an easy to install
and maintain Linux distribution. Anyone looking for a distribution that
arrives ready and able to do some serious work should give this Debian
distribution a try."

Debian on Steroids II.1: When a Dot Means a Lot (Linux Journal) Posted Oct 9, 2003 23:47 UTC (Thu) by rfunk (subscriber, #4054) [Link] (Posting here rather than at LJ because I'm registered here and don'twant to register there.) I'm a Libranet 2.8 user (plus Debian-sarge updates and a bit of unstable) and I love it. I'll probably buy the next release after 2.8.1, but not 2.8.1 itself. This article makes a big deal of "full" WordPerfect support in AbiWord and Kword. Well, apparently that doesn't loading include WP5.x documents. Abiword 1.99.5+cvs.2003.08.30-1 (later than what they say is in Libranet 2.8.1) completely choked on my wife's dissertation. And I'm not sure what version of Kword is in Libranet 2.8.1, but Kword 1.2.92 was only able to get the first page of this multi-hundred-page file. Neither program appears to list WP in the available file formats in the open dialog.
