There are many derivatives of Ubuntu, which usually use a different desktop. For example, Kubuntu uses KDE, Xubuntu uses XFCE, Lubuntu uses <I forgot> desktop. OOo will run nicely on all of them, although if you use the default installation it will be the Go-oo version, not the version from OOo. I recommend that you install an additional desktop. After doing so you will have the additional desktop as a login option. The reason I recommend this is because it gives you an additional way to log in if you mess up something in Gnome and it won't start. But this is an OOo list, so I'll shut up now about Ubuntu. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
