True, but if a Linux distribution wants to attract Windows and OSX
desktop users (_IF_), OO is an essential package because it is what
those users expect, an integrated office application suite that is
compatible with MS Office.

Regarding Ubuntu's Live CD, I once saw a post that they prune OO in
order to fit it onto a CD; and that a further install is needed to
pull in the full suite. (With apologies for not knowing the details of
what is left out, etc.)
