Re: [libreoffice-users] is MSFT running scared ...

Hi :)
The trick is finding the easiest fastest answer for whatever hardware, resources and experience you 
have at the time.  The best answer for a normal desktop is not likely to be best for a netbook and 
the best answer for a netbook is likely to be over-complicated compared to other answers available 
for a normal desktop.  For a normal desktop it's just;
1.  about 2 screws and 1 unplug to avoid needing to fix anything

2.  If you still have a distro's Cd/Dvd or Usb then you can fix it from there.  

Regards from
Tom :)
