Ken, I don't recall hearing about your PDF-generation problems (my head is full),
but I just wanted to state for the record that myself and other coworkers are using
it (PDF generation from OOo) without a problem.  OpenOffice is fitting in *quite*
nicely, in our multi-platform environment.  RTF is still the best way I've seent o
pass docs between free Office and $$$ Office....

FWIW,

   Ben

PS - can you tell any more about the nvidia problems with FC2?  I would like to
upgrade my old redhat systems to FC, but I use nvidia!  Also, are you using apt-rpm
and freshrpms?  Curious if these problems are only with the default FC2 or are they
deeply embedded issues that can only be [reasonably] solved with a newer release?
