I have been watching this list for quite a while, and have never seen
anyone else with this kind of problem, I am sure that you have built
a decent solid system for your self at the expense of having the
software needed by the 2.0 on your machine.
Quit whining and install MSO on your linux box (oops!) -- or do
something to help everyone out and share what you have done to build
solid desktop machines and come up work with the community to
document your problems and build an installer that will work for
you. It's not like any one owes you an office package.

I've spent about 3 hours trying to install version 2.0 on my office
linux system. Because your current version uses the incredibly
primitive *.rpm installer, I tried to hack it into the 21st century by
changing the *.rpm model into a *.tar.gz one. I don't and we won't,
here, use the dreadful distributions of linux that you seem to have
chosen to support... well we might allow/tolerate Mandrake. We
scratch RedHat and Fedora from our disks if we haven't already thrown
the once corrupted disks into the garbage -- that was no cost because
we need bigger disks anyway.
What seem to be dozens of shared libraries are unavailable on our
systems. We probably won't ever seek to find and load all of these
libraries to have them available just for OpenOffice as OpenOffice
isn't enough of a reason to trash our systems. Similar libraries were
supplied and linked in earlier versions. Why not in this one? If
the libraries were supplied and installed as they were installed and
linked in the earlier versions, we would be pleased to use this free
software which now appears to be worth no more than the purchase
price.
