Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Ubuntu 15.10 will include LO 5.0.2.2

Yes, it was much easier having MATE in the Ubuntu repositories.

I have not tried the Ubuntu Mate distro, since it is easier just to add 
MATE to my Ubuntu install, and the fact that I do not need to install a 
different distro every time I want an upgrade - like Linux Mint with 
MATE makes me do.  It takes a bit of time to rebuild the systems after 
changing/upgrading from one distro version to anouther, with all of the 
packages to be reinstalled and all of the .config files to update to my 
needs - i.e. Thunderbird's email settings and such, Firefox's bookmarks 
and specific saved passwords, Filezilla's site management config files, 
etc., etc..   I do not even want to think about what I need to do to get 
one of my printers to work properly on Ubuntu 14.x and newer, since 
14.04,  it no longer supports the needed drivers that control the color 
output of graphics.

In the past month, I have switched out 2 systems from Linux Mint to 
Ubuntu 14.04 [or better] and have two more to convert, while doing the 
much longer process to keep the printers working properly [i.e. install 
13.10 first and install the printers, then upgrade to 14.04, and then do 
the upgrade cycle to 15.04/10 if wanted].
