I use OO on my PowerBook G4. I didn't really have to do anything,
other then make sure X was on the system. I don't use neooffice.

Jamie,
I got OO working fine on my mother's in law imac. The trick
seemed to
be finding the proper version. You have to get neooffice
http://www.neooffice.org/ otherwise you have to go through all
sorts of
crap with X.

So... I too have a mac related problem. My mom has been using a
mac for
a few months now (mac mini), she needs word processing... she hates
appleworks to the point where she refuses to use it. I think i
tried OO,
but it didnt install or work. MS word seems to work for her, but arg!
anything but that! So... she has a mac mini with whatever the current
osx is (computer is ~6mos old).
Im wondering if i should try ubuntu on it? or of thats going to be a
collosal project that takes all of my time for 2 weeks to get
working?
Any other ideas to solve her word processing issues ?

XFree86 on osx was pretty good for me for a while
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/ (I think you either
need the OSX
DVD to do the install, or get an Apple Dev account and download
from their
dev site).
Also, if you just need some standard *nix stuff that's not in OS
X, there's
DarwinPorts (http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/) and Fink
(http://fink.sourceforge.net/). The combination of all those got
me through
about five months of working with my G5 at work before I said eff
it and now
it dual boots with Ubuntu-PPC.

I'm using a Mac at work. I've gotten accustomed to certain
features of a Linux desktop and have some switch pains.
Virtual desktops:
Solved with: http://desktopmanager.berlios.de/
The terminal works fine for me but some people like iTerm.
One thing I'm missing is "focus follows mouse". Anyone know
how to do this on a Mac?
Other tips to Mac software or tweaks welcome. :)
Thanks,
Rob
