Comments / Tutorial Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
Updated package names on the first entry. It seems that AOO packages will not have a bundled JRE: the parts that mention it could disappear from the guide on a near future

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
Moved to the Linux section and moved to the Tutorial section (leaving a shadow in Linux).
Changed the titles of the posts and removed the Draft tag.
Will remove these last 2 posts in a while, seems to be rather good now.

Eliminated references to the JVM: it is not bundled anymore on AOO

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
With specific reference to Ubuntu, would RGB or anyone else add a bit on how to uninstall LibreOffice and then install Apache OpenOffice or, despite potential security concerns, an older version of OpenOffice.org?
The reason I'm asking is this: The Ubuntu Software Center lists OpenOffice.org but apt-get -s install openoffice.org shows that LibreOffice will be installed. So imagine a situation in which a person runs sudo apt-get purge libreoffice* and then deletes ~/.config/libreoffice and then does apt-get install openoffice.org. Back to square one?

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
On Ubuntu I have always found it advisable to remove libreoffice-core (earlier, openoffice-core), using Synaptic or sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-core before installing (originally) Oracle OpenOffice and now Apache OpenOffice 3.4 from the download at http://www.openoffice.org, using the method described in the tutorial. Many of the Volunteers on this Forum use those versions of OpenOffice in preference to linux distro versions, as they are more stable.
If the Ubuntu distro is installing LibreOffice when requested to install OpenOffice there may be trademark implications which Apache may need to raise with Ubuntu. I have raised this matter on the Apache Marketing mailing list.

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
I don't doubt you, vasa1. I always install off the main OpenOffice site, so the problem doesn't affect me. I'll let Apache (the trademark owner) deal with it.

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
I modified the first paragraph to consider those distros with problems. Please, someone check if the instructions are OK: it is several years since I last used fedora and I'm not an ubuntu expert either...

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
Have modified the paragraph about problems with distros to add that LibO can be installed afterward by using the website packages instead of the distro packages.

Re: [Tutorial] Installing Apache OpenOffice on GNU/Linux
I installed the Apache version of Open Office on Linux Mint (Olivia/Xfce desktop). I ran it from the terminal after downloading the tar.gz from Apache website. There was a message that the instal didn't complete because Libre Office owned a file or directory soffice. From Synaptic package manager I uninstalled Libre Office permanently (run a query on Libre Office and select for uninstall anything with the LibreOffice name). I repeated the manual instal and it worked.
Only problem for me now is that open office doesn't plug into the xfce file manger but uses its own file drop down box for open or save file and this app. doesn't see network drives.
Hope this is some help.
