OpenOffice Is Too Demanding
This would be a terrific idea if it was possible.
I have not tried installing Oo 3 because the suite exceeds the capabilities of the SmartQ 7. The Q7 has just 128 MB RAM and Version 3 of Open Office needs 256 MB. See http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/s...s_reqs_30.html. |

Rats! So unless somebody finds away of doubling the RAM or somebody brings out a slimmed down version of OO for MID type devices thats a definite NO

Also, OpenOffice 3 needs a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels according to the requirements page above. The Q7 has a max resolution of 800 x 480. I assume you know that a spreadsheet (Gnumeric) and a word processor (AbiWord) already run on the Q7. Were you looking for additional software such as a presentation program like Impress? I'm sure with all the folks who use the Q7 there are many who could make suggestions to help you find software to do whatever job you need done. |

I know there is work to improve OO memory use, performance and interface but I can't see it ever being well suited to a device like the Q7. There are several other lighter office programs that will give a much better experience. As cetica96 Abiword and gnumeric are both good alternatives. For presentation software you can browse through http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Office/Presentation/ Imposter might be the ticket (I haven't used it and I am unsure if it is available for the Q7 yet) if you just want to view presentations. |

Thanks for the information (Celtica96 & jrj). AbiWord & Gnumeric would probably do I fine job it`s just that I use OO on both my Windows desktops and plan to use it on a Linux desktop I am setting up (to learn Linux) so would have liked to stayed with it across all my devices.
