Even if it were - it depends on what you expect. Windows quality isn't
the best either, but this doesn't mean that Windows or Ubuntu
should be excluded from being a platform/distro where we invite people
to test and use LibreOffice.

LibreOffice is not the place to draw people to "true" Linux - it's about 
users and their needs. And if our Ubuntu users can be helped by 
providing a short "how-to install" this should definitely be considered 
as worth to be included in the product.

Please stop this kind of attitude immediately.

Insulting others can't be the way to discuss *any* topic on our lists.

You may have a strong opinion on Ubuntu quality, but this doesn't mean 
anything to your attitude against Sonic4Spuds (whatever his/her name 
might be).

On a developer list you might expect on a certain degree of developer's 
background information, even if I don't think you can insist on it. But 
we're here on the main discuss list of LibreOffice.

Our community doesn't consist of developers only, but of a great variety 
of different experts, supporters and people willing to help in one or 
another area.

Everybody should try to stay friendly in his/her postings, re-read them 
before sending and decide to modify them (or not to send them at all) if 
they might attack others personally.

Best regards

Bernhard
