That can be done, though 2.4 does not seem to be ready for regular use at
this point. I've run it myself for a while, but it doesn't work 100% for
all people. At this point 2.2 seems to be the safe choice, though a 2.4
kernel may be included for the adventurous.

XF4 still doesn't work completely on some machines... in particular some
revs of the Rage chips. But in general I think XF4 in combination with
the fbdev driver should be ok for most machines.
I believe the current version we have in CVS is 4.0.1 though - is there a
good reason to bump that higher?

It was my understanding that there are some legal issues regarding the
distribution of Sun's JDK.

Keep us posted on OpenOffice... :)
