Yes, where is the OOo installer for Linux? I even have to use OpenOffice.org,
allthough I have a StarOffice 8 license... because StarOffice's own installer
didnt work on Ubuntu, a huge debian based distrubution, so I had to go through
the conversion of RPM files to debian files, and install them from the command
line. That didnt even work for the StarOffice RPM's... WTH?

Is this really how you want to spread OOo/StarOffice, dear developers and
planners? Going away from a GUI installer to this pre-1980 command line circus?
Even on StarOffice?

I know that the majority of the audience is on the Windows platform, but since
you did have an installer, this switch to a RPM circus is really like saying
"Goodbye casual users, we are now targeting system administrators and nerds".

A competent and robust installer for Linux is simply mandatory, none of your
excuses will do the casual user any good, and the number of casual Linux users
is growing.
