[libreoffice-users] Ubuntu 10.04 is LTS

Hi Olwe Melwasul :)

If you have Ubuntu 10.04 then please stick with it rather than 'upgrading'.  The 
10.04 is a special release called an "LTS" which means Long Term Support and has 
3 years support for the desktop version.  We have about 2 years of that left.

You have probably noticed that the first number, the 10 or 11 refers to the 
year. The second number refers to the month.  So 10.04 was released 2010, April 
(well, the end of April) and the next release is due to be the 11.04 in April.

A lot more work goes into the LTS releases and any bug-fixes and updates are 
done for them ahead of other releases; ahead of even later releases such as the 
10.10 (October 2010).

Regards from
Tom :)

Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit gives me a drop down screen when I click on
the "file type" arrow under the standard "file/save" option.  ODF is
the default world ISO standard now.  You also can use
"Tools/Options" to help with some of your default needs.  I load
and save .doc files all the time.  I prefer to use .odt for my documents,
but I send them off as .doc file to people I work with.

Also, you might want to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.10 soon.  The Update Manager
works that fine and you do not loose your packages or settings.  They
are currently working on version 11.10 for release this year [late in 
the year?].
