I discuss things in more detail (screenshots!) over here. I think if all you need is Word compatibility, then Abiword is your program. If you also need PowerPoint, then you're probably going to have to go to OpenOffice.

By the way, how do you pull off PowerPoint-over-VNC? Wouldn't you have to configure a remote Windows station to have an 800x480 screen? Or maybe, like me, you've installed MS Office on a Linux system using Wine, which you can then run in an 800x480 vncserver session, or even better, you can X-Forward your MS Office app to your tablet.

Some more reasons to package up a Debian chroot system:

I've also installed Firefox (Iceweasel) 3.0 in my Debian chroot, and it can do Java applets and Flash (although both are slow-running). Evolution is also installable if you need MS Exchange or Novell Groupware support.
