Sometimes features are removed from OOo. If one of those features is something you find useful, you may want to keep a version with those features, on one or two systems. > What is Mono?

Ubuntu and Windows? Personally, I think that getting the most recent version --- regardless of how one defines that term --- purely because it is the most recent version, is absurd. Upgrade versions only when the new version has a feature that you need, and will use, and others have thoroughly tested it out. > Also any suggestions for Linux distros I can test with a "Live CD" to see > which one works the best for my HP Pavilion zv6123 AMD64 Athlon laptop? Download and burn the live ISO images for the first hundred listings at http://distrowatch.com/ Use the first fifty purely to establish a baseline. A means of evaluating the performance on various parameters that are of importance to you. None of these distros will be your "final cut". The first distro whose performance exceeds the best in that first 50, is the distro that will, statistically speaking, work best for you. (If you want to argue that 25, or 33 is equally suitable, then use that, but be fully cognizant of the issues involved in creating a base line, using a lower number of samples.) jonathon -- Ethical conduct is a vice.
