Unfortunately, we don't run OpenOffice.org *or* pgAdmin on any of our
IBM pSeries clusters, so for us, that's a pretty much useless answer.
The folks I'm thinking of here *are* material to the matter, as we
have actually been trying to get some reasonably material budget put
together to come up with a report generation "solution," albeit with a
mandate that it can function in X-less environments.
The above biases aside, OpenOffice.org has seemed terribly heavyweight
any time I have used it for anything database-related.
