Okay, so Open Office 2 is now available in Beta form, so it's not technically "out" yet...but it's available, and that's what counts.
Who all uses OO? Personally I love it...it can do almost everything MS Office can, without the amazing, shaft-o-matic pricing...plus it has gobs upon gobs of compatibility. oh, and www.openoffice.org

I tried to install it but they only distributed it in .rpm for linux
 I tried to change it to debian packages but I got errors after installing then. So I just wait till it's in the debian packages. Or I try to get it working in slackware but I don't know. It was an error with missing files and that seems to be on OO's side not mine. I don't know if I'll like it. I hope it has better .doc formatting when I open word docs. I didn't really like the idea that it's going to look exactly like word either. But well, it's the best out there for linux. |

Its still not that good
Don't even bother with Powerpoint presentations, and complex Word documents are still rendered absolutely hopelessly. Was hoping for a bigger jump than this, although it does look much nicer and appears to have a smaller memory footprint. One of my friends also reports that for some reason it takes down the operating system completely on his Linux box when it freezes on him |

I hope he has filed a bug report then cause it's still a beta.

I did tell him to, whether he has the time or can be bothered is another matter! He's pretty hacked off with the whole Linux experience at the moment, but I shall pester him [img]smile.gif[/img]
