28 maybe oo has nicer looking fonts. It starts a little bit faster, but after
29 that no difference in speed.

34 extremly long. So long that you have to start ooo several times a day for a
35 year so that the saved startup time equalizes the time spent compiling it.
36
37 If you are even able to. Openoffice is a bitch to compile. Even the slightest
38 change might break the compilation. It really, really sucks. IMHO openoffice
39 is a nice example for everything that is wrong.

41 Go with openoffice-bin.
