Yes you do,
but I was just wondering how many people would have both installed, 
since we are trying to get all the OOo users to use LibreOffice.

Many users may wonder why they would need/want two office suites with 
the same abilities [generally] on their systems.  Some will want to try 
it before removing OOo, but I know of many people who would be very 
confused about having both on their computers.

I did notice some weird issues when I first tried LibreOffice 3.3.0 with 
OOo 3.2.x installed on my Ubuntu desktop.  So I removed OOo so those 
weird issues [which I do not remember the specifics except they were 
printing and loading issues] would not be happening any more.
