I already offered a solution, but I _never_ received an e-mail about this matter by the maintainer team.

Indeed I still use Debian for enterprise solutions. Ubuntu is good for a home-office or a end-user to see what's next in Debian, because the release cycles are very, hm, rare... > Preferably, it needs to work off the > shelf. That's exactly what I'm on about.

You know how the package sytstem works? Of course there is a solution for +200 and more machines if you need a working version of OpenOffice. > Yes, they could automate a script to do it, but it will > introduce a version of OO that *is not* supported by Ubunt > Ever heared of apt-pinning? You can tell the system to prefer certain packages. You just have to alter the apt-sources-list to your needs, heres a howto:
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html What could happen, really, if you install a version that is running like you expect it to? You won't run into trouble, if you use the complete package by the DEBIAN team, because the .deb packages are not compiled or supported by OOo. Double trouble? No, I don't think so, just a working application. http://openoffice.debian.net/ Have a look in the SID-tree. It is Still In Development but working better, as the Ubuntu package (but I spotted different bugs, but those ones went to bugs.debian.org and were already resolved) If you want to run a good piece of software in a company I will suggest and prefer Debian, or a LTS version of Ubuntu, which is still Dapper... Don't worry, Gutsy's on the way. (With a new pack of bugs, for shure!)
