I don't use FC but, imho, upgrades impose new issues as well as solving
old issues. I use OOo.org's office suite or work have found the best
way to stay current with it is to dl the tar.gz from OOo.org's site and
manually install it, esp the version 2. Upgrading my OS to get new
versions of applications is to time consuming.
