This may not be applicable, but I've used applix 4.3.1 on Linux with a 486/80 and 64MB of RAM. X is slow, but once started it works. Applix too takes a while to load, but once started is useable. The screen I have however is a 17" monitor at 1024x768 but I think a standard VGA screen will work even if it's not ideal. I'm not sure what processor or RAM you have on your Libretto 70CT, but would think that the important thing is having enough RAM, otherwise you will probably pay the price of swapping heavily. Hope this information is useful (In this context I don't think there will be any significant differences between linux and FreeBSD.)
