*BOGGLE* - use Abiword and Gnumeric, they're generally faster than OOo, too ;) (though I have also printed fine from OOo, however, I should state that I *do* run OOo from a 32bit chroot ;)
Is there any way of doing that and still using apt to manage the packages, for example is it possible to launch apt from a 32bit chroot with a different sources list ?
Debian is heading in that kinda direction soon, probably (look thought debian-devel for mentions of multiarch support).
Oh I do hope that happens soon. It is about the only reason I am considering going back to SuSE after my flirtation with Ubuntu.
Well, if you will use non-free software whaddya expect *grin*.
I know I know, it taints my kernel as well :-)
I forgive it however because there is no workable OSS alternative and it has helped turned a study full of mediocre machines into a room with one reasonably fast one.
Also VMware after-sales support is very very good, even when I was running an unsupported configuration the support team were falling over themselves to help me with a few issues.
