I have to say, though, that I was a bit surprised to find RPMs, rather than the install script / program with 1.1.4, in the 2.0.0 archive. I thought I might have mis-clicked and downloaded a rpm rather than a generic archive, but on the website [1], I found that
OpenOffice.org 2.0 supports native installation mechanisms. For example, .MSI and .CAB files are provided on Microsoft Windows; RPM files are available for Linux.
Well, as we know, RPM is not "native", but alien to some flavours of Linux... ;-)

I thought I overlooked something when I discovered RPMS. If it worked soomthly, then I'll be doing the same. alien -i *.rpm
Is there a big difference from the last RC?
