Hi Marc, Tom;
I don't mean to muddy the waters unnecessarily but, in the case of
*BSD, "support" would be more likely coming from their end and not
TDF's. Also:
* there are a lot of unrelated *BSD's (e.g. Free-, Open- and netBSD)
* *BSD apps aren't (normally) distributed as pre-compiled packages
but as source to compile
* once an app is "in the ports," it (normally) has a maintainer
(IOW, is supported)
* checking w/those projects will show whether LibO is supported
So, for example, to see whether an app is supported by FreeBSD, I
* go to their central applications site: http://www.freshports.org
* search on LibreOffice
* find that 3.2.2 is the current ver and the "maintainer" is
Baptiste Daroussin
I'm not as familiar with the other *BSD's but, if you want, I'll poke
around to establish whether they are maintaining LibO and at what
version.

So what would you add to this sample document that would reflect BSD, or
should it be kept the same?
http://libreoffice-na.us/dvd-insert-mine-sample.pdf
This is a sample of some of the text needed for an insert for the inside
of the DVD case for our distribution DVD of LibreOffice. We have a case
cover, a label, and now we are working on an inserted document for that
case.
I/we want to keep it simple to use and read. It is going to be read by
home and office users, tech people and general computer users. So it
must be easy to read and understand by the user that has the least
computer skills, who at least knows how to install their own software
and use a web browser.
We could make another document that is more tech oriented, and include
that as well, but it will need some "warning label" stating that this is
for those who need more technical information. BSD installation may be
something that would be in such a technical document, if someone knows
how to do such an install.

Hi :)
Hah, i can't find it in the downloads drop-down any-more. I'm sure
it was there
quite recently. There was documentation on how to install
LibreOffice in Bsd
somewhere in documentation. Hopefully i might get time later to try
to find
it. Note that no other Office Suite works on Bsd afaik so it would
be quite
sweet to acknowledge it.
Regards from
Tom :)
You may want to check on the dev list. If Bsd is officially
supported, then we will make adjustments to our marketing materials.
It would be nice if it were supported. AFAIK, there was talk of it on
the dev list and some people got it to work, but then the threads
just died out. Maybe there were problems with getting committed devs
for BSD.
Cheers
Marc
