I was wondering if anyone uses LibreOffice at all.
Home » LibreOffice
I know a lot of people would be aware of Oracles OpenOffice ofc. But it seems LibreOffice fork of OpenOffice is also a decent alternative to MS Office? So does anyone have it deployed?
We install it on netbooks. Seems to do everything required of it.Quote:

I was just going to ask the same question as I've come to install OpenOffice on a new set of netbooks.
Is there any tech reason to switch or have you just done it to support the "good" guys? :)

In summary, Open Office is dead. Blame Oracle. Switch to LibreOffice? :)
I used it at home to layout a children's book containing 30-odd 300DPI full-page images, with the document coming to around 200MB in size. LibreOffice Writer had a tendancy to crash, particularly when trying to export the file to PDF to send to the printers, although in fairness I was probably using it for something it wasn't really designed for. Word 2010 seems to handle the same task okay, though.Quote:
