Thanks for your reply. I've updated the repositories to Karmic as you suggested, since my lsb-release says I've got Karmic. Update Manager now wants to do a 'partial upgrade' which will take...

Is it possible to get OO 3.1 or 3.2 in Jaunty? I'm considering moving to Karmic or Lucid, but it won't be for a bit. Mostly I want the ability to colour-code tabs, which is possible in my print...

Thanks for the help...
