“The progress made by the LibreOffice folks so far is
impressive, at least when it comes to attracting contributors. The
third beta was released on November 18th, and seems to have
impressive momentum. The release notes list 118 contributors who’ve
helped with the development just between beta 2 and beta 3. How’s
it looking so far? Don’t expect miracles, but it’s shaping up
nicely.“If you’ve installed beta 2, remove it before installing beta 3.
I installed on Ubuntu 10.10, which was pretty easy — just
download the tarball with all the Debian packages and uncompress
it. Then go to the DEBS directory and run sudo dpkg -i *deb. After
that, go to the desktop-integration directory and install the
single Debian package (libreoffice3.3-debian-menus_3.3-2_all.deb)
there. That package isn’t strictly necessary, but it provides menu
integration. You probably want that.”
