    Hi Luke,
            I suggest you switch to Debian "sid" or a later model redhat.
    AbiWord-2.0 uses all sorts of latest technology stuff including
    fontconfig and xft2. I would urprised if these are supported on "woody"
    but they come by default on sid.

    I'd be very curious to know whether AbiWord-2.0 gives acceptable
    performance on a machine so few resources.

    Cheers

    Martin
