Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] How little memory can we get away with

From: Giles Nunn <giles@satproj.org.uk> Star Office is pretty heavy on resources too. It will run in 32M but I wouldn't bother except to prove it. With KDE2 and Star Office together you will certainly need to go to at least 64M and to get good performance I would aim at 128M (RAM is cheap now).

StarOffice 5.2 runs terribly on my P2 300 with 192MB RAM (not much better than it ran when the box had 64MB RAM). StarOffice 5.1 crashes with XFree86 4.0.3. I'd forget StarOffice, and look at KOffice, but then I am slightly biased ;) Chris Howells
