Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Bsd

Hi :)
Fantastic!  Thanks for checking that.  I gather that it's usually fairly easy to 
install but occasionally people stumble into some weird problems for no readily 
apparent reason.  Much the same as installs to any other OS really.  However it 
seems that Bsd users are often more experienced and able to fix simpler problems 
themselves so we might not be hearing about all the problems and just get the 
toughest ones.  I tend to send Bsd people straight to the devs list because 
hardly anyone on the users or marketing lists has a clue about Bsd.  


I don't think you should install Bsd yourself except that it's interesting to 
explore and can lead to much greater understanding of your preferred OS too.
Good luck and many regards from
Tom :)

Hi all,

A recent posting on the dev list by a user attempting to install the BSD
port, through the use of the ports system, i.e. building, compiling, etc
has indicated that it does not necessarily install as easily as one
might think. However, BSD installable packages can be found :

http://files.bsdroot.lv/my/FreeBSD/office-amd64/

http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-current/editors/libreoffice-3.3.0_1.tbz


and also via the following command :

portmaster -x libreoffice

I will have to see if I can set up a BSD machine on some old machine
laying around not doing much and try it out.

Alex
