Hi :) I think a lot of users are going to have problems if they try that. Mostly they have QuickStarter starting up automatically and also have problems when they try to open different documents in different versions of OpenOffice/LibreOffice. Advanced users with long years worth of experience of OOo/Lo might be able to handle it but i think it's bad to give advice that will trip-up most users on this list.
This link might help most people http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel it covers most of the things advanced users, such as Andreas, wont think of mentioning when they post comments such as his previous.

Both suites run fine without any Java. You can check it out when you disable the use of Java components in the Office options. It is rather unlikely that the avarage user will miss anything. _On a Linux system_ you can install as many OOo/LibO suites as you like. I never uninstall anything before upgrading. If any of the office suites shows unspecific weird behaviour it is always some broken setting or incompatible extension in the profile folder which is not affected by any installation routine. It is possible to run an office suite from extracted package files only without any installation routines. This way minor releases (3.4.x and 3.4.y) can be used on the same machine. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
