Thanks for that. I'm actually going to try and teach myself to build it, because I need to learn. :-) But chances are I'll get stuck and need this! Just out of interest, if I do use this, how do I install these? Do I just search for lxde and do it one package at a time? Or is there a way

Apache didn't want OpenOffice originally according to press/blogs of people in the know ... probably because Apache got bitten over the whole Java thing. There was, however, a contract with Sun to keep maintaining and improving OpenOffice, which passed to Oracle, and after all the dev team left

I've just read ( http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/01/oracle_openoffice_apache/page2.html ) that Oracle will retain the OpenOffice name, so basically they've given Apache all the code and rights to change the licenses, and then stopped developing ... way to go Oracle. LibreOffice will be much

Hi, don't know if this is a silly question, but I'd like to know if there is any chance to have an installer tool for bulding a customized installer of openindiana that would contain what I need by default, including additional software of mine. Thanks Gabriele.

Yep.  It's official. I'm too stupid and definitely not l337 enough for OpenIndiana so I should go use Windows or MacOS and not leech off of OI. Given this state of affairs, it's probably also amoral for me to remain subscribed to these lists and waste OI.org bandwidth. Thanks for helping
