Actually your Fedora boxes weren't running 2.0 they where running 1.9 which |
| 20 |
is the beta for 2.0. If you want to run that on Gentoo you need to add |
| 21 |
`app-office/openoffice-bin` to your /etc/portage/package.unmask and |
| 22 |
`app-office/openoffice-bin ~x86` to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file |
| 23 |
then emerge openoffice-bin. You didn't miss a thing, its just hard masked |
| 24 |
development. because it's not stable and it does crash often enough but its |
| 25 |
well worth the install. |
| 26 |

Also as far as I know there is no such thing as universe, multiverse, and |
| 28 |
backports gor Gentoo. In any case good luck getting it running, once you get |
| 29 |
it unmasked its just as easy as the "real deal" (if you will). |
