It runs. I've a P100, 48 megs RAM, 64 megs swap, using KDE as my
desktop.
SO takes a while to load, but once quiescent it isn't that bad. I haven't
personally tried to do anything fancy, but it does seem to be a bit
faster than the previous versions.

One wonders. I remember the look & feel lawsuits back a few years ago
with Lotus and anything out there that resembled a spreadsheet :). SO does
look *a lot* like MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and so forth -- many of the
keys are the same, in fact. Some things seem to be missing (like center across
columns in Excel) but it does have me wondering off and on what will happen to
this if MS notices. Look & feel hasn't been an issue for a while, though, which
is a good thing.
