i a writer for ubuntu

[missJ]

I know that there is no ubuntu or other open source program for i A writer, but does anyone know of a good program that provides same services?? I've heard of FocusWriter but I'm not sure how to install... anyone??

For writing Texts, Libre Office is there. What "services" are you looking for that it can't provide?

This should do the trick for you: (from http://www.ubuntugeek.com/focuswrite...html#more-9542 ):

Install focuswriter in ubuntu Open the terminal and run the following commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gottcode/gcppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install focuswriter

EDIT: @audiomick: focuswriter allows for fullscreen editing (same as LO) but by default , and when you mouse to the side menus come up cpntrary ro LO where you have to leave fullscreen.

Ah, I can see where that could be useful on a small screen.
