LibreOffice - pros & cons with Meerkat

[Brian Clarkson]

1. It was your post that alerted me to the availability of LibreOffice
(previously  I was unaware of it).*

2. the next URL and the following one both suggest the need to remove Open
Office before installing LibreOffice:

http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/install-libreoffice-release-candidate-2-using-ppa-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat/

3. the 2nd URL also cautions against the possibility of breaking the system.

I have no idea how credible these URL´s are but I couldn´t find much
guidance on the LibreOffice website that meant much to me.  I liked their
enthusiasm but wasn´t sure how to rate it.
