Dear fellows!
I have a pentium 133 MHZ machine with 32MB of RAM. Presently I am using Windows-95 and MSOffice-97 on it. Now I want to move to Linux.
Is it possible to run OpenOffice on RH8 (KDE) on this machine of 32MB RAM. How can I setup it. If it is not possible in RH8, is there any method in older versions. My requirement is to use MS-Office Documents.
Please Help......

Of course it's possible, but it will be very, very slow.
Lots and lots of swap space and it will run though I wouldn't use kde or gnome. Maybe something that doesn't require so many resources like blackbox/fluxbox, icewm, ect.
I'd suggest that, too. I don't know how well openoffice will run even on those WMs, though. I don't think openoffice uses as much resources as gnome or kde, though. The spreadsheet I have open right now makes it take about 30 MB in total.
I installed RH8 with KDE and OpenOffice on 64MB RAM but it Office documents opens very slowly. Is there any way to improve the performance.
The picture/graphics quality of KDE/RH8 is very good as compared to Windows-95 (which runs well on 16MB). Is it possible to improve speed by downgrading the picture/graphics quality equal to as of Windows-95
Please Help.....
