Random thoughts, tips & tricks about Slackware-Linux, Lego and Star WarsLibreOffice on Slackware
October 1st, 2010 by Niels Horn in LibreOffice, Slackware
The day before yesterday was an exciting day for users of OpenOffice.org, as it was the day The Document Foundation announced the birth of LibreOffice.
LibreOffice is a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites, and available on a variety of platforms. It is free software and therefore free to download, use and distribute.
As I "twitted":
OpenOffice is dead - Long live LibreOffice!
LibreOffice is completely based on the last OpenOffice.org version, but with the Go-OO improvements included. It's still officially in "Beta1″ status, but it is a working product.
The main issues at the moment are:
- Only en_US versions available for now, localizations will follow
- No spell-checking at the moment (because of a problem with extensions)
- It cannot co-exist with OpenOffice.org for now (*)
I used the original OpenOffice.org SlackBuilds (with permission from the author) and adapted them for LibreOffice.
If you can't wait to test this new suite, you can download the pre-built packages from my site, for both 32 and 64-bits Slackware.
(*) I'm trying out some solutions here…
