Re: [libreoffice-users] Does LibO work with Google's Linux?

Hi :)

I am fairly certain that apps can be installed outside of the web-browser.  I 
think the standard install of Chrome even includes some standard apps this way 
(shhh ;) ).  I'm not sure what they use as a package manager tho.  Perhaps it 
might be worth asking at DistroWatch (in their reader's weekly thread)?

Since they call it "Linux", I assume you would be able to install your own 
applications and packages on that laptop or desktop.

There seems to be a movement to make Google's Linux Chromebook a type of OS that 
can be used instead of Windows or "normal" Linux distros, or at least that is 
what I think they are planning.

So if Google is planning to have a "Windows Killer" OS in a desktop or laptop 
computer, you must be able to add your own package for things that Google has 
not bought yet:  GIMP, Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Inkscape, K3b, VLC, 
Jablum, Filezilla, XSane, DeVeDe, printers, plus all the other packages and 
devices  I use almost daily.

Google must be able to have you install these types of packages and devices, or 
it will not be able to function as a complete laptop or desktop computer.
