Hi. I use 3.3.4 from the LO site on my Suse boxes in the office and have 
never had problems. On my laptop that is not essential I use 3.4.1 to 
follow the more advanced changes, generally without problem. I also have 
OOO3.2.1 on the office Suse boxes as sometimes I need to go backwards to 
open a document correctly. There were a couple of quirks I found to 
installing the LO RPMs on my Suse.
