Re: [libreoffice-users] libreoffice writer freezes in ubunt 12.04

I just add MATE to Ubuntu, using the instructions on MATE's 
download/install pages.  Takes a few commands in Terminal, but the 
downloading and install of them can take some time, depending on the 
connection speed and the speed of the computer.

I hate Unity, but I sometimes log into that DE instead of MATE, but 
rarely now.  In a few months Ubuntu 14.04LTS will be out. Then I will be 
doing a new install of "everything" instead of a upgrade cycle to 
14.04LTS from 12.04LTS.  It works better in the long run to do the clean 
install, as long as you have a good set of backup files.  I have 3 
drives internal and 3 more as USB backups.  So it matches and will be 
easy[er] than the last time I switched LTS versions.
