There are some problems with StarOffice, that bloated stuck pig of an office suite, currently under Woody/Sid, discussed in the mailing list recently. If you *need* stable functionality, stick to Potato. I've played with OpenOffice, but a ways back. It wass definitely *not* prime-time as of November.
