I have been using it since February.  It does not run in Aqua so X 
windows needs to be installed.  Apple's X11 is fairly straight forward 
to install.

OO is very stable on my ibook however it takes a very long time to 
start.  I usually just keep it running.  Also, I can't figure out how 
to import a tab delimited file into a spreadsheet -- any clues?
