One notable downside of installing .debs (other than the long commands) is missing the automatic fixes and updates being published to the Ubuntu packages, and having to reinstall future versions of LibO. You also have to know if you have 32-bit or 64-bit, and be precise in the order of package installation. This is not necessary anymore for Ubuntu users. A third-party repository (Personal Package archive or PPA) has been available for a few weeks now, which should be the recommended way for end-users (as opposed to developpers) to install LibO under Ubuntu (10.04 LTS and 10.10). In order to use the PPA: 1) Open a terminal window under Applications > Accessories > Terminal 2) Type the following command to add the Ubuntu LibreOffice repository (remember to type ENTER at the end): *sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa (you will need to enter your user password) 3) Type the following command to install Libre Office: **sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice libre-office-gnome * 4) To exit the terminal type use CTRL-D or type "exit" (without quotes) followed by Enter. All LibreOffice applications will be in the Applications > Office directory. From there on you will get notifications as usual when new versions are out. If you wonder what a PPA is and want to know more about that, see: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA Cheers, Fabián -- LibreOffice questions ? Des questions sur LibreOffice ?
