[LinuxUsers] follow up to reload

[Paul Saenz]

I believe that if you want to update open office, then you will have to
install the latest version manually. There are ways to do that, but I will
have to do a search to find a website for instructions. Ubuntu doesn't
update to the latest version of open office until it is fully tested.
Nevertheless, I believe that the version number they are using is 3.0 or
above. It is just the minor revisions that are not fully available from
ubuntu repositories. Personally, I wouldn't be concerned, unless there is
some specific feature that you want to be able to use. If so, let me know,
and I will research how to manually install Ooo.

Also, there are some streaing solutions that are available on old list
threads. I don't know what they are right off hand, and I don't know if they
will solve your problem, but I believe that it was Chris Penn, and Chris
Thomas who submitted some streaming solutions for me once when I was asking
about that. I don't know what you need, so I can't research your problem. If
you let me know exactly what you are trying to view, I will look into it.

Also, be sure to install VLC media player just for kicks and see if it will
play what you need. I have found that it will play many things that will not
play in other players.
