Do you mean kernel or slackware version 2.0.0? If you mean the slackware 
version, then that is an ancient distribution (> 2 years old at least). 
Get a newer one. Linux uses a different binary format now. If you mean 
kernel (which I think is what you mean) then you need to upgrade your 
libc to 5.4.4 or later. Grab it from the Australian sunsite:

ftp://sunsite.anu.edu.au/pub/linux/GCC/libc-5.4.38.bin.tar.gz

from /, do a tar zxf libc-5.4.38.bin.tar.gz and run ldconfig (as root 
obviously). Then things may work better...

StarOffice is OK, but rather large and slow. The new beta is faster 
although larger, and has English documentation as well. It is very 
similar to MS Office. Too similar for my liking ;-)

Good luck!
