Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: looking for sdw-compatible, Linux version of Libre Office

Hi :)
Weirder, imo, is that while Redhat and CentOS have 4.0.4 but
Scientific has 3.4.5!

Redhat and CentOS pride themselves on being as stable as possible and
have a reputation for sticking with earlier versions of things until
they have been thoroughly experimented with in Fedora.  I thought
Scientific tends to stay a bit further ahead and adds a bit extra too.
 All 3 try to stay as close to the others as possible.  I'm not sure
if they can be run as LiveCds but it's interesting to see how
perception/reputation can often be fairly different from reality.

Regards from
Tom :)
