    I expect it would be pretty slow but you gain definite geek points for doing so :D Is it usable for you or too slow?

    Oh it's very usable... it just seemed slower getting pages but was actually the screen update time.

    Open Office works well too.

    I'm running it all over SSH too

    This is not to be geeky... but because I didn't want to configure the boxes standing in front of an aircon that's main aim in life is to freeze my B*ll@cs off
