Well just installed the latest updates to Zorin 9 32-bit Ultimate - which included the above - WOW! The launch time of LibreOffice and family of apps is really fast - feels quicker than 2007 at Work! :D

It does launch much faster. I have completely replaces MS Office with LibreOffice, (even on my old XP box) has been very compatible for me. :-)

Hi,

make sure that if you download it for (dare I say) "Windows" that you get it from its official site (or from Sourceforge) as there are some scumbags out there that will load a Virus or two into the package if you get it from a 3rd party website that you don't know/trust!:

Windows exe from here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libreoffice.mirror/

As Swarf has pointed out, it is free for Linux users and is pre-installed in almost all versions of Linux!.

To install all component parts, use the following terminal command and this will install everything including all Fonts; should you want them!:

Code:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
