Yes, and by default you find your user profile on Linux in ~.openoffice.org2/user. You can tell OOo to create or use a new user profile from the command line: soffice -env:UserInstallation=$(URL) will search for the user profile at the location given by $(URL). If no user directory exists at that place OOo will automatically create a new one (you will have to click through the welcome wizard once again). > Is there a less hard disk-hungry solution that requires for example a script > that swaps some settings before the program is launched? That of course is also possible. But I consider this to be an ugly hack and would prefer the profile switch (that BTW works on all platforms).
