I had an issue with StarOffice on Windows98: I could only get the first 50 rows
of the tables. This could be a driver/settings issue, but I doubt it as Excel
works perfectly. Hence, we are still using Excel company-wide =(. Expensive.

As for the Cobalt machines, I can't see a problem. I run all our offices through
Qubes for internet access, and the main issue is raw speed: the Qube with 16Mb
memory is pushed with it's 166 Mb processor. However, it compiled and happily
runs squid, vim, and everything else which does not need X libs. postgres should
be fine, after all it's just a fancy disk access tool and samba runs very well
;)
