Using Fedora 15 here and loving it. I find only OpenOffice in F14 repositories but LibreOffice from the website should work provided there are no conflicting packages.
I'm using version 3.3.3 without problems so I'd suggest you migrate. Gnome3 isn't as bad as people say. After using it for nearly a year (started with the alpha version), I only miss the wobbly effects of compiz in Gnome2... Which is nothing really. I'll move to 3.4.x when it appears in the repos and I hope by then all complaints about it would have been addressed. I see it in F16 repos but that's the future fedora. ;) --------------------------------------------- from twohot@device.mobile :) -----Original Message----- From: Tom Davies <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2011 18:59:50 To: <users@global.libreoffice.org> Reply-To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] installing issues fedora 14 Hi :) +1 I lose track of which is the latest version of most distros. I think Fedora is quite a tough one for a first time into the world of Gnu&Linux but it is definitely worth spending time getting to know well. I'm not sure what i would recommend right now tbh. Ubuntu gets articles out there into the mainstream press but i am wary about the all-new interfaces, Gnome3 and Unity. So, perhaps Mint, Mageia (15th in the DW charts already and still rising fast) or yes, Fedora lol. http://distrowatch.com/ Pardus has excellent reports but it's fairly specific to Turkish. It was about the first to use LibreOffice by default (along with Mageia). Mepis and others are well worth a try as LiveCds or on a new separate partition just to test them out while you stick with your main one on your main partition(s).

The "Live Upgrade" does it "on the fly", and worked perfectly for me at least. I think you'll find that LibreOffice isn't in the Fedora14 repositories, which will be where your package maanger is looking, but it is in the F15 ones. I'm relatively new to Linux too and tried to install LO by downloading the file from the LO website and installing that, I have some problems now because of it (perhaps), so I'd recommend the F15 -> LO route.
