I personally use OO 2.0.x on my Linux box. Be great if it was also available on the Miggie ;-)
In my experience under both Windows and Linux (Windows XP Sp2 and Linux is Ubuntu 6.06 -- as of yesterday) the program loads just as fast on either platform. The 2.0 version fixed a formatting thing that bothered me in 1.1 version from MS Office XP and I am now quite happily using OO for all my needs.
Just my two-cents, but I would strongly and gladly recommend OO 2 to anyone!
