I just installed 3.0 RC1
I was wondering when it is expected to see
the final release version, not RC1.
I have installed both Beta and DEV versions,
but I will not get rid of version 2.4 until 3.0
is completely "done".
I also want to give it out as quickly as possible
to all those who have been using 2.x--2.4.1 here
in my sphere of influence.
I like what I saw in all of the 3.0 version so far
and want everyone to get the good stuff I have
seen in 3.0.
Also I was wondering how long it will take to get
a "self install" CD image for 3.0 to come out. I usually
burn 10 copies at a time for giving it out to everyone
I talk into trying it instead of using their MS suites.
If I wait till the 3.0 image comes out, I would need to
burn at least 100 CDs to the people, companies, agencies,
and non-profit organizations that I have given out
over the past year or two. One CD each that is. I do not
know how many PC now have OOo on them from the
CDs I have given out. Hundreds? More?
Instead of CDs, why not keep copies of it on a USB flash drive, like I
do. I maintain a selection of open source apps, such as OO, Firefox
and others on a USB flash drive that I carry with me. That way I can
install the software for them.
If you use the [free] versions from www.portableapps.com you don't have
to install anything. Windows only but their software runs directly off
the USB drive if you want. It doesn't affect (infect ?) the host system
at all. Of course you can copy the files to the system's hard disk and
run from there for extra speed but it still doesn't touch the Registry
or install DLLs in Windows's directories. No, I have no connection with
the organisation other than as a satisfied "customer".
I am waiting with baited breath.
Catch anything yet? ;-)
