Where do I find OpenOffice? I will try it for you.

Although my home system is probably a bit on the new side to really compare.
I have a 1.4GHz Athlon with 256MB ram and a 60GB IDE disk that can read up 
to 35MB/s. I can always try on my notebook. That one is mostly 1.0.

But I can at least check. I also noticed that the system feels slower with 
the mostly modular 1.0 kernel. I recompiled it with most things like IDE 
and scsi compiled in which "felt" faster.

Every program has two purposes one for which
it was written and another for which it wasn't
I use the last kind.
