Lightbulb Distribution and office suite

The best distribution i have used (and yes i've used nearly all of the major ones) is Mandrake 8.2. Its easy for the newbie, and is perfect for the developer, and for server use as well. Get it from www.linuxiso.org

www.openoffice.org is by far the best office program for linux. Its as good or better than microsoft word in my opinion. There is also a windows version. Download it from www.openoffice.org

Staroffice is now no longer free. openoffice is as good anyway.

hope that helps.

CTRLALTDEL(8)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						     CTRLALTDEL(8)

NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset, which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8) program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation for the version that you are currently using. ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file. FILES
/etc/rc.local SEE ALSO
simpleinit(8), init(8) AUTHOR
Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk) AVAILABILITY
The ctrlaltdel command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. Linux 1.2 25 October 1993 CTRLALTDEL(8)
