help
Dear dev, I need to ask a technical question that I need answered in simple language. A step format is welcome. I am moving to UBUNTU. The issue is that OPEN OFFICE is NOT in the software manager screen. I was told it was deliberitly removed for technical reasons. In WINDOWS when I download/install I use the .EXE process. Which I like. If I use UBUNTU to open your web site, when I now download/install will the program show me the equivalent .DEB files? Is the process similar to the EXE format? I do not want to use command line if I can aviod it. Too foreign and hard for me to understand. Do all web site programs show the >DEB files as long as I use UBUNTU to open them? Please provide complete details in a step,format in simple language. Please tell me if the OO process also applies to any program opened in UBUNTU. I have researched this but all the explanations are in computer speak. I need it in simple ENGLISH.
Sincerely yours,
marc orlando
