Do we even brand OpenOffice? I can't spot the difference between the self-built OpenOffice.org binary I have, and the official Sun binary I had previously. My concern with LibreOffice would be more to do with compiling it... it'd be a nice package to have on the Yeeloong, but AFAIK it needs Java..? Something I've been trying to bootstrap unsuccessfully for the best part of two years now. (gcj-jdk is a long way from usable, and there's a chicken-egg issue with icedtea6.) It also needs _lots_ of RAM and disk space ... not a plentiful resource on MIPS. -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) .'''.
