I am running openSUSE 12.2 with LibreOffice 3.6.4 from LO website and LibreOffice 3.6.3 from openSUSE repo's with Java_7_0-openjdk from SuSE repo's with no issues. I do not use Base, I use MySQL, so I'm not sure about it. All other office items work. I am not sure about the Windows OS's since I do not use them.
