Hi,
I wish to run OpenOffice.org on continually a server, so I can use it
for document conversion. OOo needs X to run, but I don't want to run X
on my server. Therefore, I'm thinking of a choice between Xvfb or
vncserver. Do folks have experience with this? Which is better in
terms of security or stability? Has anyone had a long running OOo
process? Perhaps I would be better off running an actual instance of X
on the server's hardware, and start up OOo in that?
