Hi all
Given Novell's recent buy-out of Sun Microsystems, the subsequent loss
of OOo and OpenSolaris it is time to shift towards LibreOffice to show
support for the history of OOo and the ethos of open source software.
Having just recently installed the 3.3 beta version for Debian testing,
I'm pleased to be able to report a clean bill of health, a vibrant
community and a stable code-base.
Making the switch is quite straight forward. Just follow the
instructions at the document foundation
<http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/biz-enterprise/366193:libreoffice-and-document-foundation-announced>
as well as described here <http://www.documentfoundation.org/>.
Support the open source philosophy that gave us all OOo in the first place.

1) Novell did not buy Sun - Oracle did
2) OOo is still being developed by Oracle. While the liklihood of that
continuing in the future is unclear, for now there is no need to panic.
Oracle will give warning before they pull the rug out (they did with
OpenSolaris) which would then give ample opportunity to fork to a new
version.
FUD works both ways...
