This week’s Linux Top 3, once again has a strong desktop component.

1) Apache OpenOffice 3.4

For years, OpenOffice.org was the default standard for office suites on many Linux desktops. Then things got – messy.

Oracle acquired Sun, OOo was forked into LibreOffice and there was no shortage of disharmony. There was also some initial concern that OOo would simply fade away.
