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).

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).

Ciao Mathias,
I have tried but I got an error... I am sure I am doing something wrong...
here's the code (trying to activate my "default" profile in
~/.openoffice.org2/user), but I get the same error if I create a new
directory.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/opt/openoffice.org2.3/program$ ./soffice
-env:UserInstallation=$/home/michele/.openoffice.org2/user
[Java framework] Error in function createUserSettingsDocument
(elements.cxx).javaldx
failed!
libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x4b
[Java framework] Error in function createUserSettingsDocument (elements.cxx
).
(I am equally sure that given that I am an amateur Linux user the error will
be trivial and I have just made a fool of myself, but never mind :-) )
Cheers,
Michele
