Hi :) Fantastic! Thanks for checking that. I gather that it's usually fairly easy to install but occasionally people stumble into some weird problems for no readily apparent reason. Much the same as installs to any other OS really. However it seems that Bsd users are often more experienced and able to fix simpler problems themselves so we might not be hearing about all the problems and just get the toughest ones. I tend to send Bsd people straight to the devs list because hardly anyone on the users or marketing lists has a clue about Bsd.
I don't think you should install Bsd yourself except that it's interesting to explore and can lead to much greater understanding of your preferred OS too. Good luck and many regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Alexander Thurgood <alex.thurg...@gmail.com> To: marketing@libreoffice.org Sent: Thu, 12 May, 2011 16:44:24 Subject: [libreoffice-marketing] Re: Bsd Le 12/05/11 17:17, Tom Davies a écrit : Hi all, A recent posting on the dev list by a user attempting to install the BSD port, through the use of the ports system, i.e. building, compiling, etc has indicated that it does not necessarily install as easily as one might think. However, BSD installable packages can be found : http://files.bsdroot.lv/my/FreeBSD/office-amd64/ http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-current/editors/libreoffice-3.3.0_1.tbz and also via the following command : portmaster -x libreoffice I will have to see if I can set up a BSD machine on some old machine laying around not doing much and try it out.
