That is a good question.

I have been using OO for long time until recently I was very disappointed on 
its performance, OO1.1.  I have it running on a RH9 and on a Gentoo 1.4 boxes 
respectively.  It takes at least 5-6 minutes to start.  I spent more than 2 
weeks to find a solution without result and finally I gave up.  I tried many 
methods including increasing memory, adding quickstart, etc.  When you 
visit its mailing list you will find lot of complaints on its slow start 
there. 
 
SO6.0 was obatined as prize of luckydraw in a party.  I just test it.  
Previously I has used SO5.  In my personal opinion I prefer OO until the 
lastest event about its slow performance. 
 
That is my story.
