Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] StarOffice - Clunks and all

Hi, all, A happy and prosperous New Year to you all. I tried Star Office on Frankenstein-II (P133 in an original, vintage PC-Clone box). It took over an hour and a half to install. Double-clicking the desktop icon resulted in everything going s-l-o-o-o-o-w for fifteen minutes, the frame for the window appeared, and then took another eight to fill up with the Star-Office desktop. I couldn't get it to do ANYTHING! (no clunky, there ;) Exit from the program took a further twenty minutes. Do you suppose I could do with some more memory for Frankie? <laughs> he's only got 32Meg! - On a serious note, SO 5.2 works fine on anything 300MHz and over, with plenty RAM (64Meg bare minimum) - the only thing delaying my going over to it is the (slightly) idiosyncratic attitude to databases' bits 'n' pieces (queries, forms etc.) But, it's close - real close.
