Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: [MariaDB Announce] MariaDB Galera Cluster 10.0.12 GA and MariaDB 10.1.0 Alpha now available

Hi :)
MariaDb's stated aims were to remain a "drop in replacement" for MySql.
It's not easy!

Distros, especially gateway ones (for people new to Gnu&Linux) often have a
whole load of apps already installed.  It's usually fairly easy to install
others but many people are likely to stick with the default apps unless
they find a good reason to change.

So, when pretty much all distros swapped-out OpenOffice and started having
LibreOffice as their default office suite they effectively moved from
OpenOffice to LibreOffice.  Much the same is happening with MariaDb.

Regards from
Tom :)
