Also, OpenOffice is included with many linux distros, so the installation issues are simply not there.

Good Point. Also probably why there were fewer downloads for Linux than Mac. That surprised me at first.

Not all of us Linux users settle for their distro version. There have been a few comments about how certain distros tend to "break" OOo in customizing it for their release. I myself usually prefer the original straight from OOo, although for now I admit I'm using the one that comes from Fedora 9, but will probably switch later on.
In early 64-bit versions of Fedora, there were 64-bit released issues so I needed to use the official release. In Fedora-8, I needed to use the Fedora release because of an issue supporting java. Now, in Fedora-9, I need to use the official release because of a bug relating to macros.

To Andrew Pitonyak: There is also the issue of the NVIDIA drivers, which does not seem to be a concern to the developers, although Ver. 10 is supposed to address that problem. I hope so! I use ver. 8 whitch works well with NVIDIA drivers, which I cannot figure out why ver. 9 does not! :-(
