Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office 4.2 on Ubuntu 10.04

Hi :)
You probably can't get a PPA or anything for Ubuntu 10.04 now.  It is
past it's end-of-life.  Generally it is recommended to upgrade to
12.04 LTS (this time 5 years support).  However a lot of people
struggle with the Unity Interface and install Mate or Cinamon.  Other
people have switched to forks (often known as clones) of Ubuntu such
as Mint.  Personally i've found Unity fairly easy once i'd "given it a
fair go".

So, my own personal recommendation would be to create a couple of
extra partitions and install Mint to 1 and Ubuntu 12.04 to at least 1
more and then play around with those a bit until you can work them
out.  That way the GRUB boot-menu still offers you the familiar set-up
for when you need to get things done.

The simple answer is to just download LibreOffice from the official website
http://www.libreoffice.org/
and install it just the same as you would on any Debian-family distro
(such as Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, and seemingly endless others) either on
its own

or in parallel with any other version of LibreOffice
