We don't need that. Windows XP exists. OpenOffice runs on it. Done. Our 
site is already too verbose in many other respects, it is not our task 
to warn XP users that Microsoft is not giving them support any longer.



I think when we write the following it should be clear and current enough:
Free memory of 256 Mbytes RAM (512 MB RAM recommended)


This is a good improvement to the text.

These are supposed to be the minimal system requirements. Sure, most

A value of at least 512M for RAM might be in order. Does this 256M imply
*free* memory as opposed to total?

In summary, maybe leave the Win XP, but clarify the RAM.

Re: [Website] System requirements

2014-11-05 Thread Alexandro Colorado
what would be a good requirement, I dont think AOO has escalate it's
memory demand since 3.0. I think performance still more or less the
same. But feel free to run some benchmarks. I am sure a Virtualmachine
can emulate >512 environments.

My Netbook (512 MB) ran AOO 4.0 decently, I dont think it would have
been that different with 256 RAM.

I think a friend also has a RaspberryPi (512 MB) and run AOO decently,
is not the fastest but is workable.
