Hello webmaster,

Thank you for responding, but unfortunately, I am not yet computer literate
enough to understand all the technical terminology.  I love Linux and have
been using it for over 2 years, and would not go back to Windows, but I
still have to click here and there to get things done.  I am still at the
Linux for dummies stage.

Thanks.

Hello,

I have been trying to install the Libre Office onto my computer.  I am
using
Ubuntu Linux, 10.10.  I have tried several times to down load it, even
one
that took hours.  I finally stopped it.  I tried to follow the
instructions,
but I am not technologically literate and I tried to follow as best I
could.

Libre Office was not automatically installed when I upgraded.  Open
Office
was the only office program that installed.  I am hoping that you can
help
me.  I would really like to try your program.  Everyone on the Linux
forum
speaks so very highly of it.

 LibreOffice is still in beta test, so you won't get it as an automatic
anything yet.

You have to download the .deb gzipped-tar file, uncompress it and then
run the installation directly.  Just be sure you have the right
version: Linux x86 or x64 (deb) and pick your language.  x86 is for
32-bit systems, x64 for 64-bit (of course).

tar xzf<the file you downloaded>, cd into the newly created LibO_*
directory, then cd into the DEBS directory, run 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb",
then cd into the desktop-integration directory and run the same dpkg
command again.

That's it.

 I just installed LO 3.3.x RC3 on my Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit system
The instructions above are for use in Terminal and it works well.

You should have no problems.  And yes, it would be great if Linux
systems had an .exe file that you click on in the folder navigation
system, like Windows has in "Windows Explorer" options.  Well
maybe one day it will be more point and click like Windows, but
at least Linux is more stable than any Windows OS I have used
and the software is free for things that cost a lot for the popular
Windows software.  Still software like LO makes MS Office look
like something that is too bloated for its own good.
