Hi folks,

Damn Small Linux is completely new to me. I'm searching for a light-weight word processor which can import/edit M$ .doc file. Please advise which word processor is used on this distro. OR is there any other suggestion. TIA

Unfortunately, the only word processor that has very good MS doc import function is the open office UCI extension and it is not lightweight.

Abiword is a nice compromise between functionality and light weight, but it's MS doc importation sometimes does not go well.

Currently, we use FLWriter (Fast Light Writer)

It's tiny, and does a decent job.
