I strongly recommend AbiWord-1.99.3 over 1.0.6.
1. Mandrake is in Beta, it's a good time to test out new software.
2. 1.99.3 is now in fact very stable, even with all the new features.
3. You no longer have to do weird things to Mandrake's font system.
4. Finding stablity bugs is now the right thing to do for Mandrake.
5. AbiWord-2.0 is so much better than 1.0.6 it's not funny.
I put my mother on 1.99.2. She's very happy with it. 1.99.3 is much better
than 1.99.2
