I just downloaded and installed the latest developer snapshot/build and
found that it replaces the stable version.
I think that that was on purpose: we are really close to 3.4.1 release
so it's time to test install issues.
Exactly, it was discussed earlier on this list. Anyway, there was a
quite prominent warning on the download page last time I checked (it
seems
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+3.4+Unofficial+Developer+Snapshots
is temporarily unavailable at the moment).
You can always install several versions in parallel. For Linux the
procedure is here
We have a "semi-official" page about this on the wiki too:

FWIW, I'm currently running (under WV) 3.3 (regular install), 3.4 beta
(dev install), and AOO 3.4 (parallel install, per Andrea's link). I
don't turn on any of the Quickstarters (that would be pushing it), and
only run one version at a time, but all work well. Depending on where
you specify the data should go, the parallel version may cause security
hassles with Windows permissions, but there are several ways around that.
"run one version at a time" is not really needed. If you use different
user folders, you can run the versions at the same time. To get
different user folders you can edit the bootstrap file or you can call
soffice with parameter -env:UserInstallation=
With the latter you can even run the _same_ installation two or more
times, for example one with English UI and at the same time with German UI.
This works at least for WinXp and Windows 7.
Kind regards
Regina
