Good Point. Also probably why there were fewer downloads for
Linux than Mac. That surprised me at first.
Not all of us Linux users settle for their distro version. There
have been a few comments about how certain distros tend to "break"
OOo in customizing it for their release. I myself usually prefer
the original straight from OOo, although for now I admit I'm using
the one that comes from Fedora 9, but will probably switch later on.
In early 64-bit versions of Fedora, there were 64-bit released
issues so I needed to use the official release. In Fedora-8, I
needed to use the Fedora release because of an issue supporting
java. Now, in Fedora-9, I need to use the official release because
of a bug relating to macros.
To Andrew Pitonyak: There is also the issue of the NVIDIA drivers,
which does not seem to be a concern to the developers, although Ver.
10 is supposed to address that problem. I hope so! I use ver. 8
whitch works well with NVIDIA drivers, which I cannot figure out why
ver. 9 does not! :-(

As I use nvidia drivers, what issue are you referring to in F 9? I
don't seem to be running into anything other than blanking off my
screen (video is actually shutting off), even though power save is
disabled, however I don't use all of the special video affects that
the newer drivers are supposed to be capable of.

To Scott Castalne, et al: I have been led to believe that Fedora 9 does
not like NVIDIA drivers very much! I gather it depends on whether you
are a Linux guru or not, as I am not and I get my blood pressure too
high with frustration so I will wait until the issue is cleared up. I
also understood that either a later issue of
Fedora 9 or even Fedora 10 may cure the problem. Please correct me if I
am wrong and maybe we can work to get this issue worked out in regards
to my Linux computer? :-\
