seriously, it ain't hard to disable Java in OOo. (read chrono13's post)It's been mentioned time and time again how to. Quit complaining about it.Unless you're using special features of the DB app, no real need for it."Gah, I just installed OpenOffice.org 2.0 yesterday..."What's the problem? Are you on dial-up? Are you compiling it from source?
What kind of computers do you guys have that you notice that Open Office is "slow". I have a 3Ghz with 1.5 gig of ram and I don't notice a problem with slowness. I disabled Java and speed seems to be the same. Must be a problem only on older machines, or is it a problem on non-windows machines.
It's kind of weird.I download it and install it(through the link above),but the version my OpenOffice shows is still 2.0Also, how come I can't find any news about 2.0.1 has been released on OpenOffice.org?Only thing I can find is OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 Release Candidate 5,so I guess we should wait for the official release of 2.0.1 version.
Good update. Dragging toolbars where you want them now displays persistent behavior.Also a few new (and nice features have been added)E-mail mail merge is now in and seems to work well. It now recognizes thunderbird address books as a built in addressbook type.Also, the bullet list system has had some additons in functionality.Not to mention the whole thing feels better now, not as sluggish. Perhaps that was because I upgraded to the latest version of java and started cleanly uninstalling 2.0 (and all it's profile data) before install 2.0.1. Noticed a huge speed improvement in the use of the built in database app also.Highly recommended upgrade.

The things that disabling Java disables:<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_office#Java_controversy">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_office#Java_controversy</a>Nothing important to most people. Disable the Java, and save minutes (hours if you use OO frequently) of your life.

"2 questions1) Anyone got a torrent link for this release?2) Do I have to uninstall 2.0 to run the new installer?"No. No.
