Spreadsheet application for CentOS 4.3

[Clay Carley]

Hi Matt,

Gnumeric & Gentoo sound like a nice option!  I'll be downloading that 
shortly to give it a shot.  The last time I tried Gentoo, was before I 
really knew anything about running *nix on a machine, so it didn't go 
that well.  At this point I'm sure I can get that running without issue.

Thanks,
Clay Carley
