Hi :) The _21 is probably the best one for Office so don't uninstall it until you have tried out the 1.7 (if you ever get time to do that!). I think Ubuntu 10.04 LTS uses _21 (or _22 or _20 which are kinda fine too for LO). Note that there is much less problem running older versions of java in Gnu&Linux thn there might be in Windows although obviously nothing is completely safe, especially not java. Even in Windows LO allows you to use a different version of java than the version used by other apps. Most apps just take the latest version but LO allows you to select which one. It'd be really nice to clear ones that you are not using off the machine completely of course. Regards from Tom :)
