What are the options, free or commercial, for doing good word processing
on FreeBSD?  Is lyx/LaTeX/TeX a good route?  Can WordPerfect run on
FreeBSD?  Pointers to aquisition/configuration info appreciated.

If I could get some decent WYSIWYG, I would never need Windows*.  (Well,
at least not at home, work is another story!)

thanks
