OpenOffice 2.0 is out now!
« on: 20 October 2005, 16:02 »
Come and get your copies.
http://www.openoffice.org/

Edit:
I've just downloaded it and it's the same size as RC3 so I did an FC and it turns out that it is RC3 so if you're using RC3 you don't need to download it.

It's 99% M$ compatalbe, it doesn't support macros and some other things like the positioning of shapes change when you open MS Office documents, but most of time there aren't any problems.

Is the Linux version a big tarball of RPMs, like the betas and RCs?

Because that pisses me off.  Version 1.1 had a good distro-independent installer.

Yep.
What distro do you use? Alot of them should be providing it soon enough.

Slackware.

EDIT: Found a package for 2.0rc3.  It's for 10.2, not 10.0 like I have, but I'll try it out.

Follow-up:  It turns out that the "10.2" package was just a repackaged version of the "tarball of RPMs" binary from the website.  So it works just fine.  It's RC3, so apparently I'm not missing anything. :)

If (like me) you hate RPMS then post your view here.

It's not that I hate RPMs, it's that a major program only has official binaries in RPM format.  It also sucks in this case, because OpenOffice already HAD a generic installer that didn't require any package system, and they got rid of it.

Yes that's true and that's (in my opinion) one of the good things about most Windows programs and the bad thing with most Linux programs, apart from OpenOffice 1.x and Firefox, I can't think of any others at the moment. Seriously I think they should get their heads out of their arses and bring back the old installer, they could still support packages if they wanted to.

I'm often asked why I hate Microsoft - "What did they ever do to you?". Well, I'll tell you. They made dodgy programs and standards which have wasted hundreds of hours of my time involving lost work in crashes and stupidity.
