    Hi all,

    Just curious,
    Since the source-code of staroffice is available, has anyone dared to make a
    build for Sparc/Linux?

    Considering the build times given on the site of open-office, (18hours on
    Intel-III/500MHz) with 3GB diskspace
    it seems hard to achive on my small sun4m machine. I would not mind the
    machine crunching for a week or so,
    But the required diskspace prevents me. (The bytes are allready getting
    claustrophobic)

    Has someone tried any attemps yet?

    I know running S.O. requires a lot of a system, but it does run on solaris
    and had the idea that linux is doing a better job on sun hardware.....
    (Or has anybody tried it on solaris and come to the conclusion that one
    needs at least an ultra-60 ;-))

    Kind regards, Hans Witvliet.
