I wouldn't even be surprised if it ran faster on FreeBSD, due to its high resource consumption (and FreeBSD probably behaving better under load). I think StarOffice is known to be slow, 64 MB RAM is said to be the minimum. I've got a copy of Applixware for testing lately, and it seems to do fine. I can't complain about performance problems, and that's with a 32 MB machine. (The only thing now is that i'm totally unable to make any sense out of this kind of kindergarten-age applications. Fancy picture icons everywhere...) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
