[LUGSB] Newbie question - installing KOffice

[Mark Drago]

It would probably be a good idea for you to bring your machine down to
our install-a-thon this Thursday.  We'll help you get KDE going and give
you a hand with anything else you need.  If you're interested and need
help getting your computer the computer science building, shoot me out
an email: markdrago at mail.com.  The install-a-thon is Thursday @ 6:30PM
in CS 1211.

--Mark.
