On a corporate lan setup we maintain, we've got more than 8 linux
workstations and a dual processor linux firewall with 1 GB RAM. The linux
workstations log on the firewall via SSH, and remotely run staroffice on
the server. Think citrix without windows. What's nice is that the total
mem requirements are actually decreased as linux only loads one copy of
the soffice code, and it is shared amongst all clients, and clients can
run soffice comfortably even if they only have 64MB.
