Distro for a writer?

I do allot of writing, and as such have been using XP for awhile now due to Office having a grammar checker. I recently read that KDE 4 includes Sonnet, which offers grammar checking! Exciting news for me because I miss Linux...

So my question is what distro had these features? I need to get it installed tonight if possible. I don't suppose there might be a Linux distro for writers around would there?

There is a gap here between free and propriety office suites.

You can also try AbiWord. Some versions of it use link-grammar for grammar checking.

And anyways, I wouldn't trust a computer to check my grammar if I were you.
