Re: [libreoffice-users]

Hi :)
Yes there is a strong connection between LibreOffice and OpenOffice.

A few years ago they were both 1 and the same but underwent a process
similar to "cell division" found in biological systems = where 1 cell buds
off into 2 almost identical cells which each then grow in slightly
different directions.

If you really need to have both on your system at the same time it might be
worth having a look through this wiki-guide
