“This how-to is for debian based Linux distributions,
such as Ubuntu (and variations) and Linux Mint.

“LibreOffice is the new OpenOffice.org

“When OpenOffice.org was released a decade ago, there were plans
to create a foundation to support it, a little bit like the Apache
Foundation. Almost ten years later, pushed by Oracle’s aquisition

commercial support). The community moved to LibreOffice, under the
aegis of the newly founded Document Foundation.”
