| I'm still waiting for the clean OS X port of OOo 2.  I'll switch to OOo then. What are we expecting this in now... 2009? 2015?

| I had noticed that too. :-p For the record, I've installed the new 2.0 version and it installs fine. It still requires X11 and it's very clunky (tries to bring a Windows-ish environment to the Mac), but it does the job. I haven't tried out NeoOffice yet, but the fact that it's based on the older 1.1.x series is a turn-off for me.

| I hate how they install an invisible (starts with a ".") folder to the Applications folder. Makes it a _bit_ hard to get rid of...

Generally speaking, apps on Unix tend to store local settings in a hidden directory (folder) in the user's home directory (folder) so different users can have different settings even though the app is installed in a central/global location. Peace... |

| Well, I got OpenOffice 2.0.0 installed on the Mac mini today! Woo-Hoo!!! I haven't done much with it but it seems to run ok. It starts the X server, as mentioned here, and I can easily switch between OO and other OS X apps running, which is great. I was even able to print to a network printer on the first attempt.  Peace... |

| NeoOffice was recently updated to be functionally equivalent to OpenOffice 2.0. I have both installed on my computer, but use NeoOffice because text/graphics look more Mac-like with anti-aliasing, and it uses the Command key rather than the Control key. Other than those differences, they seem to be functionally identical, except that NeoOffice is a native Mac application and does not require X11. http://www.neooffice.org/ |
