I'm not any kind of fan of OO.o, thanks to its weight, slowness, Java-dependent build process, lack of binary availability, obtuse interface (much like MS Office's), and so on. I don't feel the need to install all of KDE or GNOME just to get a word processor and spreadsheet program I might use a couple times a year. I don't think Go-oo is smaller than OO.o, though it is reportedly a lot faster. Of course, it's not in ports, and I'm not keen on building something roughly the size of OO.o just to find out if it runs a little faster, so I don't know personally whether that's true. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkwNxjAACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKWC7gCg4iuikCGkkgyR43YUv61LJtaD k0sAoJrYMfLwqfjKt0kLy7NUaP1O3D/H =gZ5C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --XsQoSWH+UP9D9v3l--
