mostly the same - libreoffice was forked from openoffice after the evil
empire known as Oracle bought Sun and people feared the worst. Though
the code base has diverged some since and Oracle has turned openoffice
over to the Apache foundation, there's really little difference at this
point and the best idea is to use whatever is packaged by your version
of Ubuntu unless you really, really need a newer version.
