Installing software on Linux is not for noobs. Noobs can live with what
they get from ppa and update automagically.

So I could write a detailed description about how to install any
downloadable versions of Open/LibreOffice on a Debian system without
having to explain the command line.
He knows that he doesn't have to type all that stuff.
He can handle the clipboard on a terminal.
He knows about symlinks, current path, path variables, absolute and
relative paths.
The installation procedure is a matter of seconds or may be two minutes
including the md5sum check and including the "desktop integration" which
is not really necessary to run the software.
