I read that some users had had no problem with Abiword, so I downloaded it and installed it.

It crashes very easily. If I mark text to delete it crashes. Making a strike on the display may crash it and I have yet to type more than a few lines in before it crashes because of some action or the other that I have made.

Perhaps I have failed to install something that it needs. I am not used to Linex and the method of distribution used although I have run, installed and maintained Unix, SCO Unix and NeXTStep systems.

I got the N800 as a birthday present for my daughter and so tried to get as many useful apps up and running as quickly as I could.
