No suggestions. I run OO on all of my desktop and laptop machines, Win and 
RH. The behavior you describe only occurs on my RH 7.3 workstation(no 
other Linux installs) but not on my Win machines. All can be slow to 
start, although it can be preloaded on Win. I may look into the RH8 rpm as 
mentioned to see if it runs better.
