I wanted to point out that, while OOo 2.0 is beta, you can easily
download the latest batch of rpms from the website and install with your
tool of choice. They even have specific rpms for suse, redhat,
mandrake, and freedesktop menus (although you do have to delete the
redhat and mandrake rpms in order to install). The latest release,
build .95 is really pretty solid for all the basic functions in writer.
I use it for school constantly.
