Hi their. I don't see any reason why the new Openoffice.org wont' work with the new and upcoming version of Ubuntu. Some helpful notes though that may make you're experience a bit smoother. Note that I don't run Ubuntu at all at present on amy of my machines, but the advice applies to all distros that are managed by a package management system. You will want to install into some place like /opt. That way it will not be hard at all to maintain two different versions of openoffice.org. Next it is very important to get a statically compiled version of openoffice.org 3.0. The reason is that runtime dependencies may have changed and they might not be in Ubuntu's reposirities. When Openoffice.org 3.0 becomes stable, it will be a trivial task to remove you're local version and install it via you're distrobution's packagement management system. Also, it may be more well integrated than the stock binaries. i.e. Ubuntu-specific patches that may not be committed upstream.
