has anyone tried this on there plug? I have been looking around to see if I can find the minimum spec to run it and either my google-fu or aged eyes havent allowed me to find it.

Im interested in attempting to run this on my last remaining kirkwood device. just for fun i would like to create a local "cloud based office suite"...

oh how i hate the abuse of the phrase "cloud"

How do you view the LibreOffice GUI on any plug?

I hear U. BTW, is there any open source "cloud" package? I only know NFS and Samba which have been there long before "cloud".

I'm not aware of that min spec, either.

I could test on my E02 soon. It comes down to the fact my USB stick (a PNY USB 3.0 - which now has my respect but not 2.0 PNYs) has been pounded for around 2 years and I'm about to clone it to a SanDisk before it fails.

And all I have to compare with, is ARMbian on the BeelinkX2 box LibreOffice Writer was effortless. But that's 1G RAM, but the 1G RAM includes video RAM I think.

On Windows ThinClient I just opened up Writer and it comes out to: soffice.bin @ 34MB and soffice.exe at under 2MB. It used to be crazy RAM intensive but the recent version I'm on, even with nice Theme is minimal.

If there is a version of LibreOffice for E02, I am sure it will run. However, how could you view the GUI (editor) part and on what display?

Assuming there is a version of LibreOffice on ARMbian for BeelinkX2, I think it should run just fine on a BeelinkX2 with a swap space and the GUI will come up nicely on any HDMI TV display.

I have a future plan to use any inexpensive (at least) 4-core Android TV Box with 4 (or more) GB RAM as a desktop computer and at least a 40" HD TV as a display. Every-now-and-then, I see Fry's Electronics has a 55" HD smart TV (generic brand) on sale under US$230 while an octa-core TV Box (capable of running Linux) with 3GB RAM sometimes can be had for a little under US $50. So, it is conceivable to use such a combination as a Linux media/desktop computer under US $300. However, I would rather wait until the price is more affordable with at least a 4-core TV BOX (with a minimal 4 GB of RAM).

That's pretty light. On my AMD64 PhenomII X3 running on an OpenSuSE v42.3 with LibreOffice v5.4.5.1, it ate 6% (about 250 MB out of 4 GB) of RAM when opening up a (text based) PDF file (a little less than 100 KB in size) as shown below.

@ all. I can find the base specs for the GUI version of LibreOffice,

The software and hardware prerequisites for installing on Linux are as follows:

Linux kernel version 2.6.18 or higher
glibc2 version 2.5 or higher
gtk version 2.10.4 or higher
Pentium-compatible PC (Pentium III, Athlon or more-recent system recommended)
256Mb RAM (512Mb RAM recommended)
Up to 1.55Gb available hard disk space
X Server with 1024x768 resolution (higher resolution recommended), with at least 256 colors
Gnome 2.16 or higher, with the gail 1.8.6 and at-spi 1.7 packages (required for support for assistive technology [AT] tools), or another compatible GUI (such as KDE, among others)
For certain features of the software - but not most - Java is required. Java is notably required for Base.

what im looking to acheive is similar to this.

To be fair, mine was Writer with a new, blank page. What's that RAM compression app we all probably have installed on low-RAM devices... pardon my brain. But unless we have compressed images in our documents that can't be compressed further, the rest of it all should be highly compressible.

Checking Gravelrash's links... I'll bail for a bit and come back ASAP.

OK so the HP T5325 or the Dreamplug is good enough for this task.
