-## 15.3 Productivity \r
-\r
-When it comes to productivity, new users often look for a good office suite or a friendly word processor. While some [x11-wm.html desktop environments] like **KDE** already provide an office suite, there is no default application. DragonFly provides all that is needed, regardless of your desktop environment.\r
-\r
-This section covers these applications:\r
-\r
-[[!table data="""
-| Application Name | Resources Needed | Installation from Ports | Major Dependencies
- **KOffice** | light | heavy | **KDE**
- **AbiWord** | light | light | **Gtk+** or **GNOME**
- **The Gimp** | light | heavy | **Gtk+**
- **OpenOffice.org** | heavy | huge | ***'GCC 3.1***', ***'JDK™ 1.3***', **Mozilla** |\r
-"""]]\r
-### 15.3.1 KOffice \r
-\r
-The KDE community has provided its desktop environment with an office suite which can be used outside **KDE** . It includes the four standard components that can be found in other office suites. **KWord** is the word processor, **KSpread** is the spreadsheet program, **KPresenter** manages slide presentations, and **Kontour** lets you draw graphical documents.\r
-\r
-Before installing the latest **KOffice** , make sure you have an up-to-date version of **KDE** .\r
-\r
-To install **KOffice** as a package, issue the following command:\r
-\r
- \r
- # pkg_add koffice\r
-\r
-\r
-If the package is not available, you can use the ports collection. For instance, to install **KOffice** for ***'KDE3***', do:\r
-\r
- \r
- # cd /usr/ports/editors/koffice-kde3\r
- # make install clean\r
-\r
-\r
-### 15.3.2 AbiWord \r
-\r
- **AbiWord** is a free word processing program similar in look and feel to **Microsoft® Word** . It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth. It is very fast, contains many features, and is very user-friendly.\r
-\r
- **AbiWord** can import or export many file formats, including some proprietary ones like Microsoft `.doc`.\r
-\r
- **AbiWord** is available as a package. You can install it by:\r
-\r
- \r
- # pkg_add AbiWord\r
-\r
-\r
-If the package is not available, it can be compiled from the ports collection. The ports collection should be more up to date. It can be done as follows:\r
-\r
- \r
- # cd /usr/ports/editors/AbiWord\r
- # make install clean\r
-\r
-\r
-### 15.3.3 The GIMP \r
-\r
-For image authoring or picture retouching, **The GIMP** is a very sophisticated image manipulation program. It can be used as a simple paint program or as a quality photo retouching suite. It supports a large number of plug-ins and features a scripting interface. **The GIMP** can read and write a wide range of file formats. It supports interfaces with scanners and tablets.\r
-\r
-You can install the package by issuing this command:\r
-\r
- \r
- # pkg_add -r gimp\r
-\r
-\r
-If your FTP site does not have this package, you can use the ports collection. The [graphics](http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/graphics.html) directory of the ports collection also contains **The Gimp Manual** . Here is how to get them installed:\r
-\r
- \r
- # cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp1\r
- # make install clean\r
- # cd /usr/ports/graphics/gimp-manual-pdf\r
- # make install clean\r
-\r
-\r
- **Note:** The [graphics](http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/graphics.html) directory of the ports collection holds the development version of **The GIMP** in [`graphics/gimp-devel`](http://pkgsrc.se/graphics/gimp-devel). HTML and PostScript® versions of **The Gimp Manual** are in [`graphics/gimp-manual-html`](http://pkgsrc.se/graphics/gimp-manual-html) and [`graphics/gimp-manual-ps`](http://pkgsrc.se/graphics/gimp-manual-ps).\r
-\r
-### 15.3.4 OpenOffice.org \r
-\r
- **OpenOffice.org** includes all of the mandatory applications in a complete office productivity suite: a word processor, a spreadsheet, a presentation manager, and a drawing program. Its user interface is very similar to other office suites, and it can import and export in various popular file formats. It is available in a number of different languages including interfaces, spell checkers, and dictionaries.\r
-\r
-The word processor of **OpenOffice.org** uses a native XML file format for increased portability and flexibility. The spreadsheet program features a macro language and it can be interfaced with external databases. **OpenOffice.org** is already stable and runs natively on Windows®, Solaris™, Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OS® X. More information about **OpenOffice.org** can be found on the [OpenOffice web site](http://www.openoffice.org/). For FreeBSD specific information, and to directly download packages use the [FreeBSD OpenOffice Porting Team](http://projects.imp.ch/openoffice/)'s web site. These packages should work on DragonFly.\r
-\r
-To install **OpenOffice.org** , do:\r
-\r
- \r
- # pkg_add openoffice\r
-\r
-\r
-Once the package is installed, you must run the setup program and choose a `standard workstation installation`. Run this command as the user who will use **OpenOffice.org** :\r
-\r
- \r
- % openoffice-setup\r
-\r
-\r
-If the **OpenOffice.org** packages are not available, you still have the option to compile the port. However, you must bear in mind that it requires a lot of disk space and a fairly long time to compile.\r
-\r
- \r
- # cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice\r
- # make install clean\r
-\r
-\r
-Once this is done, run the setup as the user who will use **OpenOffice.org** and choose a `standard workstation installation` by:\r
-\r
- \r
- % cd /usr/ports/editors/openoffice\r
- % make install-user\r
-\r
-\r
-If you want to use a localized version, here are the available ports:\r
