Hi,
Sorry if you got another mail before this, caused by some wierd keyboard shortcuts.

I think openoffice is pritty fast and stable right now. ubuntu 6.10 comes with one of the best versions. and I wont be surprised if debian 4 (can some one tell me when is it being released?) also ships the same or even a better version.
I think ubuntu 6.10 comes with Open Office 2.0.4. Debian 4.0 etch (currently in frozen sate and expected to be released by end of this month - as the debian's policy is "realeased when it is ready") will have the same version. Most of the release goals for Debian 4.0 including linux kernel 2.6.18, new graphical installer, SELinux support, LSB 3.1 compliance ... are in good shape to be released. Also other new changes includes better support for Desktops and laptops (soundcard detection & configuration, battery power ...) and improved co-ordination between various desktop environments (KDE, GNOME and XFCE will follow common default theme) ...
See the freeze announcement http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/12/msg00004.html
