Hi :) I had no idea there were different organisations doing the same thing. I don't know which is best but i think
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/ is worth looking into. Unfortunately i am lucky enough to be able to boot into Gnu&Linux almost everywhere i go now. There is a place i am not supposed to be able to and they have quite harsh sounding warning notices about not messing around but i 'accidentally' had my usb-stick in the machine and it went straight into the LiveCd/Usb version of Ubuntu. It was very slow though, as it's an old usb stick. So it might be worth experimenting with. Thanks and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Pedro <pedl...@gmail.com> >To: users@global.libreoffice.org >Sent: Thursday, 27 June 2013, 10:03 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: any word about 4.0.4 portable coming out? > > >Hi Virgil, all > > >Virgil Arrington wrote >> Apache seems to have taken quite the opposite approach with no new >> releases >> of AOO since its 3.4.1.
