12:11 PM EST 		I've just gone back to OO after many months in Abiword/Gnumeric ... OO isn't as slow to start up as previously advertised, at least the version in Debian Squeeze and on my newish hardware. I've actually been using it more and Google Docs less.

12:22 PM EST 		Steve -- OO is not so bad these days. FO that mattter, it's been tolerable ( in terms of startup time) for a long time if you would just set swappiness to a low level.

On my wife's Debian Mint work station, which includes the 4-line script alternative to the 200 line "miracle patch", things fairly pop up.

Desktop Linux may finally become the pleasant place we always knew it could be.

Quoting:OO isn't as slow to start up as previously advertised


The best one can do to improve that is to get an SSD as OOo/LO startup is extremely seeky. I speak from experience :)
