I'm not sure I follow. Is there some significant upgrade to c++ or
something like a core library that requires a dist upgrade? Or, cannot
just something like the Open Office package be upgraded by itself?? I
went through the entire beta cycle of karmic and wound up not liking it.
Some core parts to alsa-utils were removed and it caused me problems. I
certainly don't want pulse installed. I just happen to like having sound
work. 

If you read my remark about Fedora and NOT liking cutting edge, for that
reason you wouldn't be quick to recommend that. I just want solid. I
have devel work that doesn't need to be upset. Check my Linux User #,
I've been to a county fair, a rodeo and something else, which I just
forgot. Old timers, Owell ...  Ric
