Dear Kay:
Thanks for your reply.
I will have to search AOO on my available Linux repositories to see what
they come up with.
to me, the main reason so many went from Oo th LibO is because when
Oracle bought out sun, people were afraid that Oo would (figuratively)
become "less open". I tend to feel that a main open source app of this
importance should be a true .ORG with no possibility of being used as a
"front" (i.e. repeated enticement) to get people to go for paid
products. Ads on the side of the web page just enough to pay for the
site, is one thing, but I think more than that, many people are silently
fearful of too much commercial aggressiveness, direct or indirect.
Actually my background is more industrial electronics and heavy industry
than true IT. Now retired, I tend to make some gadgets myself from
scratch, or near scratch, especially if, by doing so I can have added
benefits from them in terms of:
- durability
- interchangeability
- home shop repairability
- other features not available on the market, especially if I think
those features are ones that the market may be reluctant to make
available, possibly because they would be "market busters" and
jeopardise the sales of existing products.
I have been doing this for decades, and some of these items have been in
service for as much as 40 years. I also make some of my own tools.
Out of the box? Yes!
Best Regards, all
Bruce M.

¡Hola! Luiz y todos:
This is interesting because the last comments I had bumped into in
regards to win 8 were much more negative.
We will see how it goes.
At present, I am using a combination of XP and Fedora (32 and 64 bit).
LibO comes by default with Fedora 32 or 64 bit, Version 15 and up.
There is a whole new system every 6 months.
Best Regards,
Bruce M.

You can, of course, install AOO on your own...
Developer builds are available now and Apache OpenOffice would love to
hear from you.
See "Testing Developer Installation Sets" on the Source page...

Hello, friends
I've been testing intensively the latest versions of Libre Office
3.5. X and the version of Apache developers, known as AOO 3.4.
both in Windows environment 8 (previous version user) and the
results obtained with both products have been fairly
regular,stable and also very good level of performance (Libo 3.5
Rc2 bit slow).
In general the result has been satisfactory. I will keepin the
operation ofboth tests andI will tell later.
