I installed the 64-bit Fedora 9 this weekend because I am writing an article that requires Fedora 9.

Fedora creates their own builds, including a 64-bit build. Their 64-bit build on Fedora 9 is unable to run the following macro

Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To 10
 Print "Hello"
Next

It fails on the Next statement. In other words, their build is broken; it worked fine on Fedora 8.

In Fedora 8, the standard OOo distribution had issues with Java, so I used Fedora's build.

Now, the tables have turned. I removed Fedora's version and I installed the standard OOo version 3.0 Beta with JRE, and it works like a charm. Numerous usability enhancements as well. Good job to the OOo team on this. The Windows builds are working well also.

Not that it matters for this list, but I intended to file a bug report for the Fedora team, but was not able to figure out where to do this.
