What word processor do you recommend on a computer with less than 64MB RAM? I think you would need 64MB RAM to successfully run OpenOfficeOrg. (Maybe Ken Foskey could advise us?) Can anyone comment on the memory requirements of AbiWord? dsl uses PatheticWriter (part of Siag Office) and Feather Linux uses Ted but both are very limited compared to OO and Abi. cheers, Ken -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
