Re: [libreoffice-users] L.O. 3.5

Hi :)
In Ubuntu the PPA version of 3.4.5 isn't rc.  Maybe the team that makes it distro-specific changed 
the name slightly?  I thought most popular distros have LibreOffice in their repos?  I think a lot 
of people prefer to download from the official site rather than their repos even if they aren't 
using the ultra-latest version.  

I think "don't care" is the wrong way around.  I think they expect Gnu&Linux users to be more like 
themselves and more familiar with the types of details that devs know well and point&click users 
such as us (well, me anyway) probably don't.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Ok, thanks Dan.
Yeah, it is confusing. I thought they just didn't care about Linux.

m.w.c.
