Openoffice is not intended for Xubuntu. Not lightweight enough.

Edubuntu is school based. It probably wouldn't have any games on it. But
it does have OpenOffice. Probably Gnome based.

Do we

A. Look at Installing OO.o on Xubuntu.

B. See if Edubuntu is lightweight enough. I doubt it.

C. Investigate if another distro has tried to solve the OO.o vesus
Lightweight issue.

+++++++++++++++

Totally different point:

Do we biff all MOBO's that do not have USB. USB sticks are replacing the
floppy and close to replacing the CD as a storage device. See my next
post.
