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.

is it M$ compatible ?

Aloone_Jonez · « **Reply #2 on:** 20 October 2005, 16:31 »

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.

Checkout one of the OpenOffice FAQs

I'll wait for the Dutch version (which will not take long)

Dutch apples are nice but they don't beat the British ones.

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.

WMD · « **Reply #10 on:** 21 October 2005, 06:31 »

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.

WMD · « **Reply #12 on:** 21 October 2005, 21:04 »

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.

Aloone_Jonez · « **Reply #13 on:** 21 October 2005, 22:02 »

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.
