[g-a-devel] Re: Openoffice was: First impressions for gnopernicus 0.11.4

["Daniel COTTO" <daniel cotto wanadoo fr>]

Hi Bill:

This is a good news.

So, due to the big size of openoffice, which version should I get to begin 
working:

* the debian's sarge version 1.1.3,
* An other debian version 1.1.4,
or a newer one from the openoffice.org web site that I will build myself ?

regards,

Daniel
