If you want a desktop of any kind, but don't use the more advanced
stuff, try xfce. It should save some memory. If you're really only
running openoffice, then there may no need for a desktop at all.
If you want better advice on what you could do to free some memory, you
should probably post a list of programs that are running (try 'ps ax' or
something like that).
As far as the kernel concerns: That's easier for you to try than for us.
Just remove things until it breaks :-)
