Against my better judgment, I tried an amd64 OS version about 6 months ago.
I could not launch the firefox installed by the OS installer and had to
re-emerge it (it was a Gentoo-based distro and a good one). I tried in
vain to install OpenOffice twice before I counted the cost in time too high.
I am sceptical that software development has caught up with amd64. I would
ditch your OS and go back to a plain i586 or whatever Ubuntu has and get an
OpenOffice version that works.
Apart from Ubuntu's problems with its OpenOffice versions, openoffice.org
itself has not exactly been covered in glory by the three versions it pushed
out last year. I have the last en_GB version (2.0.2), evidently, which is
not broken.
