Tony, download the 3.5 debs:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
Extract with Nautilus: 'Extract here'
In a terminal cd to:
/LibO-Dev_3.5.0beta2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US/DEBS and install:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Do the same for the help file:
/LibO-Dev_3.5.0beta2_Linux_x86_helppack-deb_en-US/DEBS

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

That will install the dev version in /opt/lodev3.5. These will not
interfere wihth your existing LO install(s) & will create a profile as
~/.config/lodev/3/user.

Now create a menu or desktop launcher to:
/opt/lodev3.5/program/soffice
and off you go.
