Is it possible to install OOo alongside LO on F17?
As a matter of curiosity, why would anyone want to have both OO and LO
installed simultaneously? Aren't they mostly feature-equivalent and/or
compatible?
You have hit on the reason, the magic word is "mostly," and unfortunately
compatibility is not quite perfect. I have been bitten by that in the last week,
so it's not subtle in some cases.
Unless you are into research about feature-for-feature comparison between LO
and OO, what's the point of having them both on the same machine?
Bug avoidance, particularly in the import/export from other office software.
I'd love to see the code bases merge, but I don't expect to, OO seems to have
gone to a good home, don't expect it to go away soon.
Best, :-)
