But I hear from the usual unreliable sources that OpenOffice is
written in Java. So if OpenOffice is part of Fedora it seems to me its
a Fedora problem also. There is no question in my experience that an
installation of everything thing in the FC3 (or even FC2)
distribution) leads to a bloated system. And saying XP systems after
SP2 are also bloated does not make me feel better.
I haven't heard that OO is written in Java. Even if it is - one third-party
application does not make the whole distro suck.
