major diff between koffice and openoffice?

[taseal]

School hasnt started so I havent used any of them yet, but I'm just curious.... are they pretty much the same exact thing, or is one superior to one another in any way?

It's really a matter of which you prefer. OOo is probably the more polished of the two, but it is quite slow if memory is tight. KOffice is less memory-hungry, but some people have had problems with print quality (I've never had this, though).

I'd recommend installing both, seeing which one you prefer, then possibly scrapping the other.

KWord can import and edit PDFs, then export them.
OpenOffice can only export them.

What about those "locked" PDFs?

OpenOffice is for Unix-like systems and Windows. KOffice is only for unix-type systems. You tell me which suite is going to have more users and more people submitting bug reports?
