On Linux Styled for Philippine Government Offices

Inquirer reports that a special "Bayanihan Linux for Government" has been prepared, including a bundle of open-source software such as K Desktop environment, OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox, XVidCap and the MPlayer. 

I am skeptical. From experience, I can tell that the learning curve for many of these programs (especially OpenOffice) is quite steep, especially for old government hands too steeped in MS Word and other Microsoft standbys. OpenOffice has an especially clunky footnote format system which is unsuitable for the mass production of legal documents, which tend to be footnote heavy.
