qole and rebhana:

It would be nice if openoffice 3.2 was available. According to
openoffice.org there is a significant speed up of start up times with 3.2.
They claim a 46% improvement from 3.0. I currently have 2.4
on the n900 and it takes about 45 seconds for Writer to come up.
Assuming 2.4 and 3.0 have the same start up times (need to check). That would make the cold start up 24.3 secs. Now, if you are willing to risk (to quote qole) "frying" your processor at 900Mhz you can get it down to about 18 secs.

lenny-backports has version 3.0 for armel but I could never get it to install. Anyways, It would be good to know why they were pulled before getting what you wish for. I noticed 3.2 on squeeze but not for armel.

BTW I tried the Ubuntu version and it came with openoffice 2.4. Not sure where to find 3.+ compiled to run on n900 with ubuntu


Anyways, I think you are doing a great job. I like Easy Debian.
and having linux on a device you can fit in your pocket especially when flying and having to juggle stuff (laptops, luggage and shoes).
