and 2.0.34 kernel.

I've had very good results from SO5 so far, it seems quite faster than 
SO4.  I've imported Word and Excell files with graphics imbedded and it 
looks the same on both formats.  As far as I know, you can't import 
powerpoint files.  The only problems I've seen is with people 
complaining about the install.  If you get the libs installed and call 
them from the command that calls SO5, then you shouldn't have any 
problems running it.  I don't.  I'd be willing to test that experiment 
for ya if ya want.  I don't have a file of that size in word format.
