Do we even brand OpenOffice? I can't spot the difference between the |
| 11 |
self-built OpenOffice.org binary I have, and the official Sun binary I |
| 12 |
had previously. |

My concern with LibreOffice would be more to do with compiling it... |
| 15 |
it'd be a nice package to have on the Yeeloong, but AFAIK it needs |
| 16 |
Java..? Something I've been trying to bootstrap unsuccessfully for the |
| 17 |
best part of two years now. (gcj-jdk is a long way from usable, and |
| 18 |
there's a chicken-egg issue with icedtea6.) It also needs _lots_ of RAM |
| 19 |
and disk space ... not a plentiful resource on MIPS. |
