	My wife has written three under Fedora, the first with abiword, 
and the others with openoffice. The secret with the latter (which, as the 
nearest thing she has to tech support, I advised against for the first) 
is that it is modular.

	You can get into PackageKit, go through a list of the modules, 
and make sure the ones you can count on never using are all uninstalled. 
Modularity speeds Oo up, and my impression has been that uninstalling 
unused stuff speeds it some more.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
