That's true for lots of people here. > i assumed kernel is most important for system security. do we have tweaked kernel packages. i dont mind a little of sluggishness or loss of performance. The kernel is updated regularly, and the debian-security team is generally on top of things. You should subscribe to debian-security-announce > i am privacy freak, hence not using android. however, after seeing size of libreoffice, is there any way an option to download only small portion. i have overheard aboout similar option in our os debian. this is must, only metered ethernet or wifi connections in my area. i am specifically interested about disadvantages compared to full package or normal update or upgrade. Options: LibreOffice is about 600MB if you don't choose all the language packs and dictionaries. There are 179 component packages, but you only need a few. - you can download packages to a USB stick at a library or university or internet cafe, then take them home and install them. - you can purchase Debian DVDs and have them sent to you in the mail > to me email is important. i have decided to contribute bit similar to seti. can i run mail in two terminals. i have read somewhere using ctrl alt f2 option to start new session. is word session correct ? by jumping using above option will log out from existing session. ctrl-alt-F1 through F6 are usually set up as independent virtual terminals. Changing to one or another should not log you out of the one you were in, but only offer you a chance to log in to a new one. If you want to run mail in 2 sessions at the same time, the important thing is to choose a mail storage format that supports that. Maildir is the most useful. Any program that supports Maildir should also support multiple sessions. -dsr-

The same goes for GNUmeric. Only thing I couldn't find still is an alternative to Impress... Best luck.
