Installing Open Office 3.3.0 in Ubuntu 10.04

[Andre Mangan]

That is the version suffix of one of the packages.

The total package should be in 3 parts = one for the main installation, one
helper installation and one to integrate the menus and icons into your
system.

Question:  Would it not have been more prudent to install LibreOffice which
is the default for Ubuntu and every other recent distro?  The current
version of LibreOffice is 3.4.2.  LibreOffice is under active development
whereas OpenOffice is not.
