I have the latest beta of 2.0 on my Windows desktop. Other than an
occasional minor glitch, it is fine and it resolves a nasty font

install the beta on my Ubuntu 64-bit laptop. I have followed all the
advice I have read from here and elsewhere, and I can't even get the
.deb packages made out of the RPMs, let alone install them. I give up.
It isn't worth following that road any further. I'd rather just wait
until the final of 2.0 is out, at which time I assume that real .deb
packages will be available.
However, at the moment I'm having to do my homework at the university
on the laptop with 1.1.3, then transfer it to the Windows computer
with 1.9 for printing. That is because 1.1.3 does not print the
correct characters that I see on the screen. I wish I could print from
the laptop because then I wouldn't have to go all the way home to
print out my homework to hand it in. In other words, the current
situation is a PITA.
At one time Sun was saying there would be a new version of StarOffice
in July. Dunno what they're saying these days, but it's probably no
longer "July."
Can anyone venture a guess as to how close the 2.0 final release is
getting?

HTH,
The whole thing is starting to resemble the elastic release date for
Microsoft's Longhorn. (:))
I am, however, willing to wait as long as it takes for the OOo 0.
