I have Mandrake and Abiword but I think I had to choose to install
additional Gnome software to get it.  It is not that they stopped
including Abiword just that they didn't include it by default.

I think there is room for both Abiword and OpenOffice, I always install
both.  I wonder what it would take to convince Mandrake to include us by
default?  (I should double check this but) Not having a small fast and
light application like abiword included with Mandrake Move (their Live CD
version) is suprising.
