Thing is that people will quite happily download acrobat reader or inkscape at around 20 meg each but balk at OOo. While some of this might well be the "Office" factor some of the reluctance must also be the size of the code. > > At least Linux take it as separate RPM's... > > Not sure what you are referring to.

But most Linux distros come with OOo so if you are prepared to download a Linux ISO and install you are not going to be put off by OOo. I think the code size thing is fairly irrelevant to take up on Linux (apart from people with either meagre hardware or who like AbiWord, Kword or some other free software because it takes up less resource, is mor elegant solution etc not really because of the download size. Download size is an issue for take up on Windows though. I have no idea about the Mac. I'm guessing Solaris is Star Office and Sun supported in any case.
