Open a shell window, and type:

ls /usr/bin/oo*

You will see the funny names that the oo2 binaries have been given. A useful 
exercise would be to set up symbolic links to "better" names. The version I 
am using claims to be 2.01, but the binaries are all named "something1.9", 
like "ooffice1.9","oowriter1.9", etc.

All you need to do is (as root), type the following:

ln -s /usr/bin/ooffice1.9 /usr/bin/ooffice
ln -s /usr/bin/oowriter1.9 /usr/bin/oowriter

and so on...

I should like to know why version 2.x is named 1.9.
