I would like to try openoffice because I need a program that is able to 
make a powerpoint-compatible presentation. Openoffice Impress is supposed 
to be able to do that job (according to openoffice website).

I've an old pentium with 1 G harddisk. 400 MB for DOS and 100 MB for 
Linux Swap leaves 500 MB for Linux itself. Presumably 500 MB is 
insufficient space for SuSE/RedHat? Moreover, I like the basiclinux 
concept: start small end big.

Greetings, Nomdo
