Well, this part goes for SuSE as well (BTW the only distibution I have ever 
used so I can not compare) - no "RPM dependency hell" - but this is perhaps 
because I use SuSE's optional apt4rpm, which is a blatant ripoff of Debian's 
APT I believe ;).

And OpenOffice has always installed cleanly "out-of-the-box" and been ready 
for productive use without other tweaking than adding a couple of extra 
dictionaries.
