LibreOffice on Maverick

I installed LibreOffice a few weeks ago, leaving OpenOffice in the past -- it was a great thing, but it is going to change I opt for LibreOffice as it keeps its spirit of freedom.
These instructions include installing from an official PPA, so updates will come from there until LibreOffice makes it into the main ubuntu repos. This comes from novatillasku: In short,
  • sudo apt-get purge "openoffice*.*"
  • sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
  • sudo apt-get update
  • sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gnome libreoffice-l10n-es
You might want to use libreoffice-kde instead of the -gnome version, and a different language pack instead of -es as well.
