Hi Jan.

I am aware of a local school using StarOffice here in my town. Is a
server based app. (The server is a athlon 750 Mhz with 512 Mb of RAM)
and is serving 8 workstations (k6-2 500 mhz with 32 or 64 of RAM). The
school is working with LTSP without problem. I think that it would be
the same with OpenOffice.

It was some of the most succesfull points of the implementation. With
this suite even the most non-Linux believers teachers had to accept the
advantages of this migration.
