I believe this is not very important, I mean, everyone knows all new Linux distros will come with LibreOffice inside of them instead of OpenOffice But no matter if distros remove that suite of their repositories you'll still be able to download it from it's official webpage. -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlev...@googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6
