Re: [libreoffice-users] To run libreoffice arm

[Jonathan Schultz <jonathan@imatix.com>]

I've been using Libreoffice, and OpenOffice before it, on ARM for many 
years. You can get it from debian or ubuntu repositories. I presume the 
sources are there too (?). It generally works very well and is as stable 
as the i386 versions. Unfortunately -base broke some years back and has 
been removed from the repositories.

No comment on its usability with touchscreens. I have only used external 
keyboards (USB, BT or slide keyboard on my Nokia N900), so have never 
dealt with using an on-screen keyboard.
