LinHES is meant to be an appliance so, you won't find Open Office in our
repo. A lot of what a user would want to do, we try and account for in our
Service Menu. However, they is don't stopping a user from opening an xterm
and working configuring by hand. If you think LinHES is limited I'd
certainly invite you to contact me off list with your thoughts.
