Review from B. Byfield on NewsForge:

Two comments from me:
1) "The old installer...is replaced by a dozen .rpm packages...
installing a dozen packages is far more cumbersome than
the common installer".
This can be made a no-brainer (rpm -Uvh *rpm, and it does
everything by itself, or just use synaptic or similar GUI, but
let's make sure it's written very clearly right above the packages
or the newbie might really find it too cumbersome to be bothered
with OO.o/Linux
2) "Overall, one gains the impression that users who want a free system are being \
pressured to choose between their principles and key functionality"
:-) Gee, wasn't this just what was said here before Christmas?
Back then the objection to Java were also from a simplicity
standpoint (avoid duplication and such), but a lot of time
went by just to debate whether those involved were key
functionalities or not
ciao,
Marco F.
