Not today, but next year OOo 2.0 will be outdated and if asking for a support most people will ask to get the latest version. My reasons is because the recent OO provides better compatibility with the latest MS Office, since it is a critical to our company which exchange the document in MS office format with the customer. >Well ... you would have to rebuild a newer version other than the one on >FC6 ... which MIGHT still work on CentOS-5.
