There is a load icon prestart thingo for open office available. It does with M$office does and preloads a heap of stuff so that the user perceives it as fast when it starts. Try and find that. Regard Star/OpenOffice.org. You install it once with -net under user adn then run install on each user, it does not install the whole thing so therefore you do not get complete copies. If you do an autosign on with gdm on your main computer and automatically start OOo on that user then it is loaded into memory and it starts significantly faster the second time. This is the whole idea of fast central computers, the reuse of memory and disk IO is far more effective.
