Sinclair,

Here is what I have done, I try with just OOo-2.0.4 running and it won't even 
open the docs, After installing openoffice-gnome, and gnome-vfs it will open 
read only.

I am now also considering that the department wants to mount everyone's home 
directopries on this w2003 server, then they could login from any desktop in 
the department and have the same home. Is this working? Can I just add the 
parent share to fstab and mount it then just link to the various users homes? 
I take it I would have to assign each user account on each desktop the same 
UID, and then set it up to authenticate somehow with kde to the appropriate 
home upon login.
