Re: OpenOffice installation?

i would like to make sure everyone knows that i was, in no way, cutting
down mr. gordon or anyone on the Ximian team. i am a big supporter of
GNOME and always have been.

i apologize if any of my comments seemed to discredit anyone.

i now understand that XD2 is based on outdated software and that i
should look more for 2.6 instead of XD2.

again - i am sorry if i offended anyone.
