Hi David
I'm running OO 1.0.3 on my G4 and it runs fine. However, I believe that
1.1 is much better and I plan to upgrade by including the following in
my sources list:
# deb http://sevdalia.hajvan.net/~palic/OpenOffice.org/1.1 unstable main
FWIW I ran dselect to install it.
It may be worth subscribing to debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org -
you'll see a lot of information on bugs and how development is
progressing.
Good luck
Clive
