Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. MEPIS is a founding member of the Debian Core Consortium and uses the Debian pool for everything available, except the installer. SimplyMEPIS *is* Etch with a Sid item or two added (primarily Firefox). The version of Open Office is Debian 2.0.0-2 straight from the Debian testing pool. So while I can't tell you if it works in Sid, I can tell you it doesn't work in Etch. Thanks, Lance
