82 IanMcDonald 85 #[|ftnt_1]~[[1|#ftnt_ref_1]~] The Linux software is generally considered much more secure.
86 #[|ftnt_2]~[[2|#ftnt_ref_2]~] This is a [GNOME]/[GTK] application
87 #[|ftnt_3]~[[3|#ftnt_ref_3]~] This is a [KDE]/[Qt] application
88 #[|ftnt_4]~[[4|#ftnt_ref_4]~] This is a command line or terminal program
89 #[|ftnt_5]~[[5|#ftnt_ref_5]~] They may not be [WYSIWYG] editors but they are still perfectly fine for most things
90 #[|ftnt_6]~[[6|#ftnt_ref_6]~] LaTeX is a typesetting language, not an editor. It produces the desired result (in many cases better than the MS equivalent), but in most cases you need to use a text editor (like gvim) to 'write' the document. ''You can use LyX to write documents in a near [WYSIWYG] style -- Perry Lorier''
