OpenOffice 2.0
I just wanted to say, I've just installed OpenOffice 2.0, and I'm really impressed, I really think we have some serious competition for Microsoft Office. Everything just looks so... professional, especially base.

You forgot the most important thing: the speed has improved greatly.
Although it's all screwed up with the GTK-Qt engine, or mabye the GTK-Qt engine is the problem.

anybody know why they have packaged the installation in an RPM based form. Unlike the gui installer that came with 1.14. I'm not a big rpm fan. Guess I'll wait for an ebuild in gentoo or would love to hear that i'm missing something and that there is a different installation method--besides the source method which looks way to tedious and mainly aimed at devolopers.
nonetheless i'm excited for new versionAll right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

You can get it through portage. I installed the binary version, it's quite a bit faster to install (takes about half an hour, compared to something like 5 or 6 hours it would take otherwise...).

yeah but portage doesn't yet have 2.0. I already have previous 1.14 version. Guess I'll just have to wait.

Portage does have 2.0 ... but it is masked for testing.

You could install it the same as in Slackware. Just convert the RPM's to .tgz's and install. That's what I did, and everything works perfectly. Originally Posted by spencerf
