this is misleading. these are active lists, so you are seeing a small 
bit of the big picture.
of course active lists have a negative tone... they're where people post 
their problems.

toasterz gets 1750-2250 downloads of the add_remove_ogo.pl per month.
the script installs on a clean system with few problems... when you 
follow the directions and howto's.
debian installs are even easier.

this project is amazing. hands down the best available to the opensource 
community.

give it a try for testing, a limited rollout... maybe you could 
contribute your findings back to the community. :)

maybe this is a good place to ask for success stories. please post your 
successes and some details so a
curious admin can see that all is not problems with OGo. :)
