OOo comes with Ubuntu???
I think it is Dapper but it is a
version to be used with VMware so I can
run Linux on my windows system.
I still am downloading the Ubuntu
for the past 4 hours and 2 to go
and this is on Broadband - slow site
I see so many people talk about Ubuntu
and OOo so I wanted to ask here first
If you know of a place where I can get
the information I want, I would like to know
about it.
Also How easy is it to update or modify
OOo on Ubuntu - Dapper???
Since my only work with OOo is Windows
and I have not dealt with a Linux product
since 2000. That is why I want to try out
the system and get input about all aspects.
Is there a better Linux/OOo combo?
with less problems???
I don't know about "better" - it's almost starting a religious war there.
I have run various flavours of Mandrake/Mandriva, Kubuntu and now
gentoo. I also set up a ubuntu server under vmware preparing to load it
on the machine which serves my mail. I would not recommend gentoo for a
newbie to linux.
Kubuntu is at least as easy to run as Mandriva. Be prepared to google
and search users archives. The ubuntu/kubuntu users seem very
encouraging and most problems you will find already answered in the
forum(s).
OOo runs very happily on any of these systems.
For a "toe-in-the-water" I don't think you will go far wrong with
ubuntu/kubuntu. I presume you aware that the difference is gnome vs KDE
desktop, which is very much a matter of taste.
Have fun anyway.
