Hi,
Does anyone know when/if OpenOffice 3 will be/is available for Ubuntu? I know I can work my way through all the debs from the OpenOffice download sites, but I would rather wait for it to be packaged for Ubuntu (unless that's going to take months). |

If you used Slackware, you could be using it right now. It's a shame to be tied to "repositories" that others control, innit? |

One is free to install from a number of repositories or download and install from source. |

It means that everyting works at all times even if I sometimes have to wait a little for software like now with OpenOffice 3. I even sometimes think Ubunutu are too early with letting software loose in the repositories and like the way Linux Mint does it where you can choose to update based on levels of safety: 1 - 5 where 1 is tested safe packages and 5 is bleeding edge untested. I need my computer to work at all times (for work). However, it would be great getting OpenOffice 3 since it has features I would like to have access to as soon as possible, but not if it means other things breaks in the process. |

I dont believe OO3 will be available to HH users unless they self install or someone outside packages it. If you wait a week or so I would bet there will be a site with a how-to available. |

Thing is I am using Linux Mint, so I know from experience I will have to wait a little bit longer than you Ubuntu guys :) |

If everything stays the same I get bored so I always try the newest as soon as possible. So far I am bored with OO3. Everything is working fine on two machines. caver1 |

When I was looking for confirmation one way or the other last week I got the impression that OOo 3 missed the cut from 8.10. For example: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rg/+bug/267376 |

One is free to install from a number of repositories or > download and install from source. What percentage of *buntu users do you think are going to use other (than default) repositories, much less compile/install from source? It's a serious question. My guess is a percentage *very* near zero. |
