Re: [libreoffice-users] what version of LO would work on a really old system?

Hi :) LibreOffice is not like most programs. It has a large core program with a few tiny modules / satellites / add-ons / plug-ins / apps that kinda plug-in to that core. Removing one or a handful of those modules does very little to affect the size or complexity of LibreOffice. At least that

Hi :) Sorry, i don't know what PYOO is so i have redirected this question back to the LO mailing list - even though it is really a question for Calligra forums/mailing-lists. I've only used their spreadsheets for very straight-forwards sums, to add columns of figures. Is PYOO something that can

Hey Guys.  I found two 512MB memory sticks.  It now gives me about 800MB after the shared video memory. Did you know that the Ubuntu repositories do not install LO Math with LO?  Found that out about an hour ago. On 02/23/2018 03:40 PM, Tom Davies wrote: Hi :) Yeh, the KDE people put a

Re: [libreoffice-users] what version of LO would work on a really old system?

It's interesting to hear of Kubuntu working well on an old machine. When I last tried using it a few years ago, Nepumuk and Aconadi bogged it down so much that it became unusable. On Fri, 2018-02-23 at 16:42 +, Tom Davies wrote: > Hi :) > Would Gnome Office (ie Abiword and Gnumeric) be

Re: [libreoffice-users] what version of LO would work on a really old system?

Hi :) Again, good points. It is much easier to support people using a system that you use yourself. I gave up on using Kubuntu when i no longer had to support anyone using it. It is interesting and has tons of nice features but i just prefer stock Ubuntu for my main use. If i had to support

Hi :) Would Gnome Office (ie Abiword and Gnumeric) be better? Also last time i tried distro-hopping on 'old' machines i found that Kubuntu was much faster and lighter-weight than even Lubuntu and Xubuntu. There was a ton of stuff to figure out and apps etc to add o really get the most out of it

I am getting an old HP desktop, that originally WinXP, ready to give away. It has 64-bit AMD 3300+ CPU, 512MB ram, and only 160GB drive.  It was an original Windows XP 32-bit OS system on a 64-bit hardware. Since it needs ALL of the old user's info removed, and XP OS "damaged", It was better
