Open Office

by charles-allen . Updated 17 years, 8 months ago

First time posting…unsure of how this works but willing to try.
I have seen quite a few posts and blogs that praise Open Office. I am also becoming somewhat disenchanted with MicroSoft despite it having worked somewhat reasonably for me in the past.
I noticed also some references that within Open Office there appears to be what I would call a definite leaning towards Intel.
Can Open Office be installed on a machine with an AMD processor that is running Windows 98 or XP ? or … is it going to be necessary to create myself a Linux box of some specific distribution that uses an Intel processor ?
The only machine I currently have available that has an Intel processor is old enough that it does not have a CD drive (floppy only), is limited in RAM and has a smallish hard drive.

Thanks for the help.
