Yes indeed it does. Although I installed a 32 bit sarge system first,
that was just in case the 64bit installed failed. I haven't used it
because the 64 bit systems works fine and most packages have been
ported. I do however, have a chroot 32bit-sid system installed within
/var as recommended in the howto, to run open office - this works well.
The only downside is you can only open ooWriter and ooCalc files from
the application; you can't just double click on them - a small price to
pay for a blistering system.
Have fun
