No, you've obviously have never used linux. This has nothing to do with a
stable or unstable internet connection. It has everything to do with tar gz
and deb files which are a pain in the #$%#$. It has everything to do with that
fact that Apache Open Office is user unfriendly for linux users.
WPS Kingsoft for instance is really easy to install - a simpleton like myself
has no problem installing their stuff, including their patches. And I didn't
have to uninstall libre first or any thing like that. Maybe look into seeing
how they do it so easily.
I like, but I'm not in love with their software which is why i keep coming back
to Apache. But until you all figure something out, I'll keep on using WPS and
Freeware, which I like less.
Thank you for the quick reply though. I really didn't expect to get
one.Michael Maloney

CDs/DVDs are not available from Apache. But I also don't know what the
problem should be to download it - except that fast/stable Internet
access is not available everywhere on the world.
Furthermore please make sure do use always the original sources for
downloading software. For Apache OpenOffice it is this [1].
A simple solution would be to download the needed installation files by
someone, burn it on the CD and give it to them they need it.
