I just download LibreOffice directly and then use the terminal commands to install it. It will be nice when LibreO is in the repositories for Linux distros, but it will be a few
months till then.

Sometimes it can be a problem working with PPAs, while other find it easier than
using the terminal commands to install a package.

Well, I choose to download the archive from LibreOffice.org and then un-archive it. Then run the install commands via the terminal. It works for me. But it will be
easier when 11.04 comes out in a few months.

Hi :)

Errr, LibreOffice is only in the 11.04 repos at the moment.  It will (hopefully)
get back-ported to the 10.04 LTS 'soon'.  Typically that is the way Ubuntu
handles their repos.  It might be wise to wait for that to happen or ask in
Ubuntu forums about it to see if that pushes things faster.

On the other hand i am also on 10.04 and considering downloading the ".deb" and
installing that with dpkg or something

The download.  Use the 2 drop-down lists to get the ".deb"
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

The install instructions for linux.  Ubuntu/Debian is the first section
http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
