Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Installing LibreOffice under Ubuntu 9.10 aka Karmic

I tired a PPA several times with Ubuntu 9.x and 10.04.  It failed have 
the time
I tried to install anything via PPA.  So I do not use it.

I think we need to make sure that the people who are Linux users have
clear options fir installing via PPA and through the standard web site
download and terminal install.  It is only a few lines to install via the
terminal, so for me it is easier than setting up a PPA install.

I still use a PDF file to remind me what the commands are, but it does
not change except the [file] name of the version to be installed.
