maybe oo has nicer looking fonts. It starts a little bit faster, but after that no difference in speed. > 2 - how long does it take to compile openoffice-bin on a PC with 2 GB > Ram and a AMD Athlon-64 3200+ Processor? extremly long. So long that you have to start ooo several times a day for a year so that the saved startup time equalizes the time spent compiling it. If you are even able to. Openoffice is a bitch to compile. Even the slightest change might break the compilation. It really, really sucks. IMHO openoffice is a nice example for everything that is wrong. Go with openoffice-bin. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
