Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How I can reduce the loading speed of Calc ?

People can comment on my free and FOSS package list - OFF the list - or 
at least what package should be added or removed from it.

I just added it to the info as a "side note" to my posting.

To be honest, I have not spent much time updating, editing, etc., this 
list over the past few years since I started using Linux for my 
main/default desktop.

One of the last major add-ons to that list was for LibreOffice.

LO needs to be on list of free and FOSS packages that can, or should, be 
included with the installation of packages on a new Windows-based 
computer.  I keep LO on that needed list up there with security 
packages, defrag, doPDF printer, Web of Trust, plus graphics and 
audio/video packages.

The more of these essential software/package lists that LO is placed on, 
the better it is for LO.  We need to get on the "higher profile" lists 
than something I made for my community of friends, associates, and those 
who find out about it by "word of mouth".
