Our operators run many excel vb macros for production on

Tt sort of depends if a GUI or TUI is needed, and if the
macros are 'common' or complex
A TUI spreadsheet is:
sc
which is tiny -- 640k big. No longer in active development
gnumeric is a GUI one, and much fatter. The basic package is
26M, but drags in a whole lot of dependencies
http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/
The OpenOffice / LibreOffice suite also exists (and are REALLY
fat), but carries a Java dependency, so depending on the Linux
variant you are using, availability may vary based on that
constraint
