Imagine 50 networked machines, using LibreOffice Beta, after they just added a new feature, and the new feature accidentally causes constant segfaults, it would be a disaster in an enterprise environment. :-O I'd expect Fedora 15/16 (Possibly 14, but I think it's too far it for them to change it now, not sure though) to see LibreOffice first. Then after it'll fall into RHEL, at which point I don't know, possibly 6.2? 6.4? All depends on stability of the product, however it may not ever make it into RHEL6 and end up only in RHEL7+. As for RHEL5? I'm not sure. But, of course all this is speculation, and could be wrong. I too checked out LibreOffice when it was released (F12 here at the moment) I soon switched back to OpenOffice.org 3.1 though :-( but, it's an early product, you can't expect it to be perfect just yet :-). (even if it is a fork) LibreOffice has the potential to be great, and the publicity/support they needed. Lets just hope they do just that. Anyhow, just my 2p :-) Sorry for any spelling/grammar issues, been up all night and am tired, only coffee keeping me going right now :D. -- Jake
