Re: OpenOffice 2.0 Sarge or Etch

I would really like to have OpenOffice 2.0 on my system. At present it

on Sarge with at least one package from Etch.
My options seem to be: use the backport to Sarge, use the Etch version
of OpenOffice, upgrade to Etch or wait until OpenOffice 2.0 migrates to
Sarge.
Any recommendations or experiences? If I wait, how long is it likely to
be before 2.0 gets to Sarge?
OOo 2.0 will never be in Sarge because Sarge is the stable release - all
it gets is bugfixes and security updates, not new versions of the software.
For a desktop system (which I assume this is) you're probably better off
migrating to Etch anyway. It's stable enough for the vast majority of
desktop users who don't need an ultra-stable release like Sarge. Etch is
certainly a lot more stable, IMO, than many other distros' so-called
"stable" releases.
