Please could one of you kind people explain to me, as a newbie,
something which I haven’t understood.
On Windows, I am using :
OpenOffice.org 1.9.97
Firefox 1.04
On Hoary, to which I am moving, I find :
OpenOffice.org 1.1.3
Firefox 1.02
Now I can understand that the ubuntu builders would not have wanted to
delay Hoary by rebuilding every time there is a new application release.
So, on Windows, I would download, and install, that myself. And it
doesn’t seem a very tough job to do the same on Linux. But I detect that
this may not be wise, because I read postings asking when ubuntu will
release such and such a new component. So am I advised to upgrade
myself, or not ?
