I had OpenOffice.org 2.0 on a Windows 98 system (450 MHz, 256 MB Dell Dimension XPS) and it was slow enough to make me very mad and wanting to throw the shit out through my window. I went back to 1.1.5 and I was happy with that (comared to what I was with 2.0) until I bought a new computer with Windows XP. OpenOffice.org 2.0 worked fine with XP on my new laptop (1.6 GHz, 2 GB) but it was when I unstalled Ubuntu (dual boot with XP) things started to feel really nice. Right now I am trying out KDE (still old 3.5 version) and it feels good too. I am sure people who used Windows for many years will adapt to KDE somewhat faster than to Gnome, so I would recommend Kubuntu to a Linux beginner with Windows experience and Xubuntu to someone with very old hardware.
