Scripted solution needed to eliminate the need for manual ifconfig/dhclient commands.
@Jggimi you are probably aware of this this effort for a wiconfig script but if not perhaps it would be a good place to start

Office automation for those who do not have or want browser-based service
I agree that OpenOffice/Libreoffice are more capable in dealing with MSoffice filetypes. On the other hand OpenOffice/Libreoffice pull in the qt3 libs whereas the goffice based apps are strictly gtk. From the standpoint of a traveler concerned about security, I have an unconfirmed thought that being a little out of the mainstream and having some diversity might be good. Although I do not have abiword/gnumeric on my desktop I do carry a webkit based brower along with firefox. XXXterm is more stable than Midori but the user interface for XXXterm is not as intuitive as Midori.
