I know, hence the qualification above and just expanding on what was said earlier. :-) OTOH, personally, I would not mind to see openoffice in extras the tiniest bit but the proposition was not all that serious.
One problem with Extras is still that there is no good way for a normal user to access it without reasonably fast Internet access. There are no ISOs (or any way for a normal user to make such). -- Chris Adams cmadams@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
/+1 Extra is fine when you're sitting on a fast DSL/Cable line. Downloading 240MB [1] worth of OO packages is less fun when you're doing it on a 56kbps modem line. If/when it'll be possible to generate and torrent an Extra DVD/ISOs upon release day -and- use them seamlessly within Anaconda/Yum/etc, pushing KDE, OO and, well, emacs into Extra will be less intrusive.
