Hey Guy's and Gal's,

Should I upgrade OpenOffice 3.2.0 to 3.2.1? Anyone have any advice on this issue? Should I upgrade or not?

Thanks in advance!

Hello wolfgar .

I do not see way not to Upgrade the software.
you need to know that when you have update/upgrade Usually it will make the software to work batter for the user.
There are bug fixes, additions, etc..
So do not worry in this issue to much ,
it is safe to do the update/upgrade.

Hi wolfgar - Welcome to Ultimate Edition Central.
I agree with Admin-Amir, however everyone is different. A few points you may wish to consider though.
When software is upgraded, looking at the release number gives you an indication of what kind of an upgrade it may be. In this instance, we are going from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1. If the version number increases in only the far right digit (ie 0 has gone to 1) this tells you it is a minor upgrade probably relating to a bug fix. If the middle digit increases, it's normally indicative of a feature addition. The left digit normally tells you that it's a big upgrade/change.
In this instance, if you're like me and want the latest of everything then upgrade away. If you're limited for bandwidth and if your Openoffice.org is working fine, then stay put and save your bandwidth as it is only a minor bug fix.

I hope this explains upgrades a bit.

Thanks Guys,

I removed and upgraded using these commands:

sudo apt-get remove openoffice*.*

sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS/*.deb

sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/OOO320_m18_native_packed-1_en-US.9502/DEBS/desktop-integration/openoffice.org3.2-debian-menus_3.2-9502_all.deb

The only issue was it deleted aspell for evolution so I had to add it back.

Thanks Again!
