Well I have installed but there are few doubts regarding it:

1. Libre Office things are coming at the same place where OO things are
already there - no separate folder for the two but no issues if this is the
default.

2.  Can I delete the original files from the Desktop?

3. By default now is : OO or LO or do I need to set the one? If yes, how?

4. However, I would not need but if ever would want to uninstalled Libre
Office, how could I do this since it is no more coming in the Ubuntu
Software Center even after installation.

5. From where does LO would get the updates?

Thanks
