Fyi, I'm running the binary version (directly downloaded from OO rather than the openoffice-bin ebuild) and it works like a champ. I'm only running an 800 Mz machine, so startup is a full 15-16 seconds, but no sluggishness after that. Screen redraws are practically instantaneous. 2.4.19 kernel. I'm all for install from source for most things, but I have no desire to compile this beast ever. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area Gentoo 1.4 sytem _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
