Wow… THAT is an old computer… I wouldn't even try to run OpenOffice.org on that one, at least not a newer version. 1.1.5 would be my choice. What do you need OpenOffice.org to do for you? If only simple tasks, there are some lot faster solutions for an old computer like yours (actually there are many different solutions, but here is one of them): Install Puppy Linux (an incredibly fast Linux distro which runs directly from your RAM). OpenOffice.org won't be installed by default but it would be too slow on you computer anyway. Instead, use the much lighter and faster GNumeric and AbiWord, I think both are included in Puppy Linux by default. But as soon as you need to do something advanced, none of these will be a good choice.
