Re: No more OOo in UNR 10.04



In the past, the upgrade process upgrades all software that has already
been installed... It will not remove OOo. At least that is the theory.

I think that is very important to remember that just because they remove

I rarely work with the default, I will be installing Gimp, I will be
installing OOo, I will install all the tools that I need.

I actually agree with these modifications, make it for the average
person who either is not strong in Linux or the new Linux user.

I also agree, and Ubuntu makes it *very* easy to install new software.

I'm curious, if you do an in-situ upgrade, not a clean reinstall, will
10.04 keep OpenOffice? I'd prefer that an upgrade keeps Openoffice. Just
a minor detail though.
