The office I work in has not though I keep suggesting it. However, at least
one of the schools in the program has started doing so. In fact, I talked
to one of the instructors who told me a student had set up a CD to automate
the whole process. I asked for more info and he was going to get the
student in touch with me. I have not heard back yet but that may be becuase
we are past end of term.
Interestingly, I saw a number of the boxes from that school this week and
found a mix of linux and win98 on them and Open Office on all. There was a
mix of OO 1.5? and 2.0 but the 1.5 was on a very low end box so maybe it
would not support 2.0. I did not have time to check into it further.

I do not actually know but I am told they do. At that same dinner where I
talked to the instructor, I also talked to someone who had visited the
recyclers and he was reasonably impressed. But it was a short conversation
so I really did not get any info. The company is
http://www.westechrecyclers.com/about.html if anyone knows about them.
