To be fair to them, the instructions to do exactly as you suggest are in their FAQ. It does have an interesting look and feel but has a long way to go before it is usable. Maybe I shouldn't have tried to save anything, though I sorta thought even at the prealpha stage "save" would be in there. I did notice that it somehow managed to get my load averages (typically between 0.2 and 1.8) depending on activity up over 8.2. I expect it has dynamic loading down well, but not dynamic unloading. And I had to kill the thing to stop it, and reboot to get back to a normal load. Still I'm glad to see it making its way over as there really is a need for a platform independent office suite.
