Hey,
I am running Fedora 17 on an Acer 64 bit machine (using 64 bit o/s), using Gnome 3.4.2 with 8gb of RAM. I am a novice to Linux, but not to various othero/s and applicaitons (i.e. reasonably IT literate as a user).
I have tried installing LibreOffice 3.6.3 per your instructions and whilst I can connect to download.documentfoundation.org, it flounders on the HTTPrequest coming back with the message:
404 Not Found
I have checked syntax (including case).
Any advice please?
Regards.

Open Office is probably one of the greatest office programs there is. Far better than MS Office anyway!

Yes! OpenOffice is far better than MS Office in many terms. Like its open source, Cross-platform compatibility, Faster operation performance, freeautomatic updates and many more.

I have Fedora 18, and I have followed your instructions, but it will not install.after unpacking the .tar I copy and paste the next command to install it, but itgives me an error message saying that theres no such file or directory. I tried changing permissions for the file / folder using Beesubut it still wont install. I
guess I will just wait until Fedora updates its repositoriesor else I will just use the websites installer packages. Thanks Anyway!

After using OpenOffice for several years, now LibreOffice is going to be installed. It is by far easier with more functionality than the MS Office bar none.
Excellent Link!

@jRuston @Ravi Saive
Its not openoffice anymore, its LibreOffice.Oracle has sabotaged what used to be openoffice.
Openoffice now has become something you will want to stay away from as far as possible.

I would have to agree that LibreOffice is the best Office suite Ive used in a long time. Ive been lately ridiculed and poked fun at by those who are usingMS Office 365 on Windows8.their jeers? That the OS I use looks outdated.that no one uses a full on-the-hard-drive office suite anymore, that all
documents and office inter-operability is done from the cloud these days, that the office suite looks old and clunky. To them I usually just reply at leastit does what I want it to do, and what its supposed to do..FLAWLESSLY! Which to me is the ultimate tipping point when it comes to making thedecision on whether or not I install and use a piece of software / hardware. I dont care if it looks like it belongs in a museum, as long as when I approachmy machine, power it on, and am able to work on whatever needs working on, and do it with efficiency and with flawless execution, then what care I if it
looks pretty to the outside world or not!?

Go to the actual path, for example cd /tmp/LibO_3.6.5_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US/RPMS/ directory and run the command again. You must beunder RPMS directory to run the command. or use pwd command to check your current working directory.
