I am running SuSE 7.1/KDE3 on a 750 MHz Athlon with 256MB RAM. This morning I installed v1.0 of Open Office. It was a mistake. The system performance was really degraded. In addition the partition useage went from 40% to 80%; this is a 20GB Linux partition. I ripped out OO by the roots, but didn't reclaim any of the partition. This is probably unrelated to the OO problem, but I've noticed that some of the log files become extremely large, over 100MB in a very short period of time. This also seems to degrade performance. I would appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks in advance. Stephen P.
