Now replaced with something called “Libre Office”. Technically Open Office and Libre Office are the same. Open Office got forked by members of the Open Office project to create Libre Office after some issues with Oracle. Oracle bought Sun, so they own Open Office now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#History Personally i don't like the workflow on Gnome 3, i will stick with Gnome 2 as long as possible or switch to another Desktop Environment like KDE4 or XFCE in future.

I have a nVidia GT240 graphic card. GNOME 3 is not yet very stable on my machine, but it was my choice to install packages from the experimental repository :-). It was difficult for me to get used to it at the beginning, but now I find it very practical. But it is harder to configure than before (not only the theme, but everything else) and I think it's a bad idea. gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor help a bit If you don't know them already.
