I know this isn't really the Gentoo (read - Linux) way, but, since I'm using
this for business apps, I need to take the end users point of view for a
moment.  Open Office or the "Ximianized" Open Office.  I read that Ximian
was bought by Novell, so I'm wondering which of these two portage packages
to get.  www.ximian.org is no longer, apparently, so I'm wondering when this
will turn into a commercial (read - for sale) product.  
I read that the ximianized version is faster to load and run, and I also
read that open office takes a long time to compile, so I'd hate to put the
Ximianized version together and then find out somewhere down the road that
I'd have to dump it and go to the other version.  Any insight here is
greatly appreciated.  I'm finally (after 3 days and nights) getting to the
end of having a "basic functioning laptop".
