I am still using OOo 3.2.1 but have been hearing about the LibreOffice fork for some time now. A couple weeks ago I even went to their website, but I was looking for feature comparisons and I couldn't find it anywhere. All I can find is pages and pages of discussion of the evils of proprietary software and the goodness of the LibreOffice fork in contrast. That's interesting, but I'm just a desktop user and my bottom line is whether it works better or not. Does anyone know of a place that has a fairly detailed but not too technical list of why one would want to use LibreOffice over OOo, disregarding the open source issues. I am interested in what LibreOffice offers that makes it easier to use, fewer bugs, features or lack thereof. Also I am interested in whether distros will be modifying it, e.g., the GOo mess. For example, I now always install OOo from the .deb files downloaded from OOo because distros always cripple something. The last incident was Installing 3.2.1 from the repos on a Fedora computer, where Fedora decided to disable the AutoCorrect feature. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
