 Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOfficeI just thought it was an interesting article. I am currently using parts of koffice and goffice. All I need office applications for is when someone sends me a powerpoint file, excel file, word file, etc. I don't need it otherwise so no use cluttering up my drive.
I would use Libre if I needed the full suite though. Free & OS all the way baby.  _________________ "Don't whiz on my leg, then tell me it's raining.." Processor=AMD Sempron 64 3100+ Palermo 1.8GHz Memory=2@1024 MB DDR Monitor=Hanns-G 19" Flat Panel Graphics=NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT |

Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice I do have a dilemma. So, far LibreOffice doesn't seem to have gtk enabled. Without that, I cannot type Japanese or other Asian languages. Even though I support LibreOffice, I guess I'll have to stick with OpenOffice for the time being.

Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice I like OOo and never had any issues with it, but when I'm forced to switch I will. My dad liked Studebakers and drove them for years. When Studebaker went out of business, he switched to Dodges. He found that the steering wheels, brakes, and accelerators on his Dodges were all in the same places as on his old Studebakers.

Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice When is it going to be available in the M11 downloads?

Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice
I imagine that the suite of LibreOffice packages will eventually end up in the squeeze-backports repo which should be compatible with M11. |

BIG THANKS, Danum! It worked perfectly! Now I have LibreOffice installed on my Mepis 11 Beta2 system and Japanese typing is enabled.  |

Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice Hello,
I have just installed "libreoffice3" in WindowsXP. Now I want to do the same in my mepis8.5. Reading this post I get confused. It's some talk about "sid" or "squeeze" and I have no idea what this is. Synaptic don't have "libreoffice3". On the libre office website it's recommended to UN-install "Open office" before installing "libreoffice3" What is the easiest way to switch to "libreoffice" ? |

Re: Open office dilemma: OpenOffice.org vs. LibreOffice
I use LibreOffice now and, like you, I turn all the reports that need to go to 'mono' M$ users into PDFs and I've never had a problem. |
