3. By default now is : OO or LO or do I need to set the one? If yes, how?

To set the default application for a file type, right click on a file,
select Properties, Open With, select the app you want and click Set As
Default at the bottom. Then any file of that type will be opened with
that app if you open the file.


Yes that is correct but I was thinking, like we have many java but to set
SUN java as default we run the command:

sudo update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

In the similar fashion, if to set the system wide default for LO?



5. From where does LO would get the updates?

If you have installed an app using the Ubuntu standard methods
(apt-get, synaptic or Software Centre) then it will get automatic
updates. If you install by any other method then you will have to
install updates yourself unless the app has a built in method for
updating.


I installed from like Johnny told step by step since via Ubuntu Software
Center that package was not there when I searched it!
