Re: [libreoffice-users] installing issues fedora 14

Using Fedora 15 here and loving it. I find only OpenOffice in F14 repositories but LibreOffice from 
the website should work provided there are no conflicting packages.

I'm using version 3.3.3 without problems so I'd suggest you migrate. Gnome3 isn't as bad as people 
say. After using it for nearly a year (started with the alpha version), I only miss the wobbly 
effects of compiz in Gnome2... Which is nothing really.  I'll move to 3.4.x when it appears in the 
repos and I hope by then all complaints about it would have been addressed. I see it in F16 repos 
but that's the future fedora. ;)

Hi :)
+1
I lose track of which is the latest version of most distros.  I think Fedora is 
quite a tough one for  a first time into the world of Gnu&Linux but it is 
definitely worth spending time getting to know well.  I'm not sure what i would 
recommend right now tbh.  Ubuntu gets articles out there into the mainstream 
press but i am wary about the all-new interfaces, Gnome3 and Unity.  So, perhaps 
Mint, Mageia (15th in the DW charts already and still rising fast) or yes, 
Fedora lol.

Pardus has excellent reports but it's fairly specific to Turkish.  It was about 
the first to use LibreOffice by default (along with Mageia).  Mepis and others 
are well worth a try as LiveCds or on a new separate partition just to test them 
out while you stick with your main one on your main partition(s).
Regards from
Tom :)

It might be a good idea to "upgrade" to Fedora 15.
The "Live Upgrade" does it "on the fly", and worked perfectly for me 
at least.

I think you'll find that LibreOffice isn't in the Fedora14 
repositories, which will be where your package maanger is looking, 
but it is in the F15 ones.

I'm relatively new to Linux too and tried to install LO by 
downloading the file from the LO website and installing that, I have 
some problems now because of it (perhaps), so I'd recommend the F15 
-> LO route.
