Hi :) 1. "Run from a terminal" is good advice but it is not immediately obvious how to do that. How do you get to a useful terminal / command-line in Fedora? Typically it is something like, go to the top taskbar (or bottom one if there is only 1) and click on the equivalent of the "Start" button which is probably called "Applications". Then something like "System Tools" or "Accessories". Look for an icon that looks like a black crt (old tele) screen with a >_ To get to the main menu for LibreOffice type in soffice (before it was LibreOffice it was OpenOffice and before that it was called Star Office). To open Writer (a bit like Word) you could instead try lowriter or soffice -writer Similarly for Calc, Impress and so on. You can always get a quick-help / cheat-sheet for any command (to check the veracity of advice given on-line or by other people you don't completely trust (or to broaden your understanding of what they/we are asking you to try)) you can try "-h" or "--help" after the command. For example soffice -h lowriter -h 2. "Use yum instead of Add/Remove programs" might be good advice. The command-line tends o be more powerful and gives a wider range of options for people that know what they are doing but a link to documentation might help since the person said they are a noob to Gnu&Linux http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User_Guide_-_Managing_Software or /and an exact command such as su -c 'yum install libreoffice' However a lot of people prefer a point&click especially in their first few days away from Windows. Noobs need a little more hand-holding and guiding than most people. Remember your first few days? We were all new to this once and we are all probably (hopefully) finding new things to explore all the time so lets welcome people in and guide them to help with a wider range of issues. Top marks to this chap for finding his way upstream so fast. Generally whichever way you install software it shows up in all the other package-managers the same way. So if PackageKit or Add/Remove Programs has a "Fix broiken packages" feature it should sort out the LibreOffice with any luck. There is a warning in the wiki that contradicts that but it seems to be warning about advanced installs such as compiling from source code. I think that is just to cover their backs because compiling allows you to do some pretty weird things.
