Hi H.S., It won't interfere with your current OOo installation. The debs install the beta version in a separate folder called ooo-dev3. It's installed under /opt on my system. I have been running both the beta and 2.4.1 and have not experienced any problems. If you create a new document with 3.0 and then later open it with 2.4.1 it will notice this and offer to update 2.4.1. You can politely refuse the offer and carry on with your 2 systems.
