Given that the Document Foundation has now split away from Oracle to continue the development of an independent office suite, do we have any idea which was CentOS and Red Hat are planning to go in this area - OpenOffice or LibreOffice? I know that LibreOffice is not production ready yet - they only have their first beta available, but it's just a matter of (likely a short) time before the split becomes a release. Thanks, Mark

The way Oracle is acting towards Open Source I will likely stay with LibreOffice and also start learning PosgreSQL just so I have no Oracle products (in much the same way I have no M$ products (in my personal life))...

I'll probably put LO beta on my laptop and play with it a little before I decide. There is a caveat that LO might install over OO in this beta, but future releases won't. Mark

Is that going to replace MySQL in future releases? -- John C.
