May I ask for advice,
I have an old spare laptop (HP/Compaq NX9005) and thought of installing a Linux, e.g. Ubuntu on it. >> are there other Linux-distributions than Ubuntu to be considered as best for private/home use?
>>    if Ubuntu, what version do you recommend to start with?
>> can I install Ubuntu without a LibO -- and install LibO separately ? Or OpenO?
>>    what LibO version is today best in the Linux/Ubuntu world?

Thanks in advance

Hi :)
I generally get details like that from DistroWatch
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu
Details about each and every package included in a distro is beyond the scope of a decent press release announcing the new release. Also why would TDF keep a record of what each distro uses? DistroWatch are pretty awesome at what they do and are quick to make changes if you ever find a mistake although that's unlikely. People that attempt to duplicate their work rather than support it tend to end up covering maybe 20 distros at most and fairly badly and out-dated. If anything it would be nice for TDF to give DW a regular donation, however small.
Just my tuppence worth

I just installed Ubuntu's 12.04 LTS, in the final beta version, on my laptop that had 11.10.

I looked at what LO it installed and it stated 3.5.1.2 - 350m1 [build 102].

I will be removing this version and use 3.4.6, but I had not seen any info about what Ubuntu 12.04 
was going to have.

Thought someone here might want to know.
