I'd say that there is pretty much zero chance of getting OOo to work
sanely on a box with 64Mb of RAM. Its working set is twice that size
when running and larger than that while starting up --- and if you have
to fit X and a kernel in there, too, you probably have 48Mb or less
available for OOo to actually *run* in.

Ooo is probably the most bloated single application around on GNU/Linux
these days...

What we need these days is a stable, fast, anti-aliased root beer
with dynamic shading. Not that you can let just anybody have root.
