Hi :) So to install that PPA from a command-line the command is probably something like;
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:libreoffice/ppa I'm not sure what the -y tag does though. This is the PPA for the latest "Fresh" so it might be good for your own machine but your clients and any machine that you can't easily access to help with any problems that might arise and any machines that don't have a decent internet connection might want to settle down on a "Still" from some other PPA or the regular repos or something.
