I'm about to write for publication, and they prefer a word-compatible
format.  I used to use OpenOffice a bit, and don't remember having any
trouble with it.  Now the repos seem to only have LibreOffice -- the things
named after OpenOffice seem to be all transitional packages, not really
OpenOffice at all.

seem good.  Before I spend the effort to switch over to see if things
really *are* better over there, would someone please comment about the
pros/cons of downloading and using OpenOffice on xubuntu/ubuntu?

OO.o is still maintained? I thought the dev community all went to LO. LO is
what I use for the simple reason that it is actively maintained, and in the
repo's. I believe it was forked from OO.o as well. I think there were
shennanigans involving Oracle or someone, but I can't remember the exact
details. Anyway, LO produces word docs just fine. Do it all the time at
work for people who won't use free software.
