Doesn't anyone here have any experience or background on using OOo with
as small a system as possible or with small systems?

When OpenOffice states that 512 MB is a minimum requirement for
operation and that 1 GB is preferable, just what does that mean?
For example, if I'm running Linux and have a 512 MB system, a certain
amount will be taken up by the desktop environment and other background
tasks. So does it mean OOo needs 512 MB to itself, or that it should
find enough of what it needs on a 512 MB system?
I don't know, but I just tried to open a somewhat complex OpenOffice.org
Calc file and started a macro that opens dialogues and things like that,
and it seems like it use about 84 MiB. Maybe you want to open several
complex documents and if so the occupied memory will of course increase.
My OpenOffice.org Calc file has a few spreadsheets, one of them has about
2000 rows and 20-30 columns and another one also has about 2000 rows but
not as many columns. Most of the cells contains cell forumlas.
I had an old Windows 98 machine a couple of years ago, and I remember that
OpenOffice.org 2 was way too heavy for it. The machine was a 450 MHz 320
MiB computer bought in early 1999.
Right now I have a 1,6 GHz dual core laptop with 2 GiB of memory, bought
in december 2006, and it runs OpenOffice.org just fine, but that's hardly
surprising.
I'm sorry that I can't give you more exact information than this, but
hopefully it's a hint anyway.
