What I want to say, is : - provide OOo for arm version prior to v6 does not really make sense, because too slow, not enough or embedded ram and so on. - starting v6, or even v7, is a good compromise More precisely, starting armv6 version, the efficiency improved a lot. To provide some figures, doing the test myself, using armv7 flags, decreased the binary size from 3 to 5% (average value). Now that bad, when we know OOo size on the disk. > >> It is obvious, that the current OpenOffice.org can run (I know) on >> current ARM, but will be slow as hell on the machine anybody can >> buy, today.

The BeagleBoard is not that powerfull, but is hdmi capable. thanks a lot for the link though.
