Just installed OpenOffice on Gentoo Linux
Well, this morning I decided to install OpenOffice 2.0 since it was released recently. Up to now I’ve been using the OpenOffice binaries, but this time I decided to do the complete compilation myself. That’s the reason why I’m using Gentoo isn’t it?
Anyway, I started the installation around 10:30 this morning and at around 19:00 in the evening OpenOffice 2.0 was installed (on an Athlon 2800+ CPU). Well, the compilation was reniced to the lowest priority and during the compilation I’ve been doing some audio editing with subsequent MP3 encoding and the MP3 encoding was definitely running with higher priority. But even so, OpenOffice is quite a chunk of software and the compilation really only for someone, who has CPU cycles to spare.
First impressions are nice, though. It will be interesting to learn, how it will behave in the company, a pure MS-Office world.
