The Ubuntu community does a good job at collecting issues found in LibreOffice on Ubuntu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice I doubt that there are extensive "Ubuntu issues related to LibreOffice". There are little that can go wrong with the packaging of LibreOffice for a distribution. > I thought someone should let the people know they might want to avoid > upgrading to 11.04 for now.

The graphic drivers, especially for AMD/ATI and NVidia are in transition, and the chances to get something wrong when upgrading are bigger. Therefore, if you are a happy Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 user and have little time to fiddle with issues, you can delay your upgrade for a few months. The same goes with Fedora and OpenSUSE. > It seems that there has been some issues between LO and Ubuntu 11.04 > reported already. > You can examine the issues at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice and list those that are Ubuntu-specific. > Actually Ubuntu seems to want you to run 32-bit even though you have a > 64-bit system. That is what their web pages seem to say.

What it means is that if you do not know what CPU you have, you can just install the 32-bit Ubuntu and be fine. The phrase that «Ubuntu seems to want you to run 32-bit even though you have a 64-bit system» is not precise. How would you explain to the end-user in a simple way which Ubuntu (32-bit or 64-bit) to use? It's too messy. > I thought to give another case for the LO users to avoid 11.04 64-bit for > awhile. > It's great to use Ubuntu 11.04. If you computer's graphics card is blessed and you get Unity without issues, then you will have an excellent desktop environment. And LibreOffice 3.3.2 pre-installed and ready to use. If your CPU supports 64-bit, then use the 64-bit Ubuntu ISO. If unsure, use the 32-bit Ubuntu ISO, which works in both cases. Anyway, we are going again off-topic.
