Hey buddy what does it mean...? Does packaging software for Fedora mean
that we didn't get the real flavor of that software but a
censored/edited one?

I have used both and there are some code changes between the two.
Presently I am using the Fedora released version but only going to wait
a short time for OOo 2.4 as some features that I can use.
Some of the tweaks in Fedora's OOo are for the better. One is sound
support. This uses the native tools. The official OOo requires Java
Media Framework to work with sound on Linux. This burned me one weekend.
There was a thread some time ago on the number of changes between the
official and Fedora releases. This raised the question about changes to
other programs provided in Fedora and where to find a list of the
add/missing bits for each program.
Making the choice may mean testing both. You can install both and have
both running at the same time. I have had four different versions on my
computer at the same time in the past.
