Can't say I have ever seen any lag with open/save on a Powerbook g4
1ghz with 1GB of ram -- and if I had to pick a single reason to use
Neo Office it would be printing -- the fact that it uses system
printers and presents "normal" dialog boxes is a huge plus, which to
a non techie-user might make the difference between being able to
print or not.

Several points.
First, OOo 2.0 is a pre-release beta and unless you have specific
needs that only 2.0 can meet, stick with the current release of OOo.
If you have troubles with X-11 and developer tools on OS X, then
perhaps OOo is not the right tool for you and NeoOffice/J would
be a better choice. I have and use both. They are very close and
file interchangeability between them is not an issue at all as far
as I can tell.
NeoOffice/J is more Mac like and that is generally good. However,
I do notice that it takes several seconds for an open or save dialog
to open under NeoOffice/J whereas OOo does not have this lag.
This is on an eMac 1.25 Ghz G4 with 1/2 Gig memory.
Also the printing process is a bit different between the two
programs, though easily adapted to whichever you prefer.

Just use NeoOffice/J - no X11 required, and a *MUCH* better port.

The instructions state you need your developer tools installed. You
also need X11, assuming yo installed it when you upgraded to Tiger
that should be all. Make sure all updates are current and double-
click the installer for OO 2.x.

I downloaded OOo2.0 onto my Mac Powerbook running Tiger. It
won't install without Apple X11 1.0. I downloaded Apple X11 1.0
but when
I tried to install it, it said it could not install because I have
a "newer version"
on my HD. Anyone else experience this? Is there a work around?
Thanks,
