At the website of OpenOffice, that is only providing RPM. Ununtu doesn't support that, and dapper has not version 3.0 yet. So it needs to do manually.
1. Go to http://download.openoffice.org/other.html
2. Download Linux DEB.
3. Untar the package.
4. Go to ./DEB

Note that: if you have installed the previous version of OpenOffice, please remove that. Unless dpkg will generate an error message to tell you the packages have the conflicts.

"Cloud" will be the hottest term for next few years in IT. I found a company provide a kind of hosting calls "Cloud Hosting". That sounds interesting. There is a webcast in their website, http://www.rackspacecloudevent.com/. They said they will host your website in a cluster of servers. Interesting.

That is interesting. I read an article in australian. It said a google search will provide the same amount of CO2 as boiling a kettle of water!

I read the news from gOS Homepage. There is a press release about Gigabyte will put a touch screen netbook. I like to call it "Tablet Netbook".

I have installed Sun Virtual Box in My Windows Vista Box(Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz and 2GB).That is not bad at all. I have VMWave Workstation before. At the hosted OS, VMWave Workstation seem to be used less resouces. If I opened a vm, my hosted OS are running smoothly. But if I run a vm in Virtual Box, my Host OS is very very slow. But Virtual Box is free and VMWare Workstation is a commerical application.
