Libreoffice is now available and installed easily for Ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 by adding the libreoffice ppa.

Optionally OpenOffice can be removed with the command

sudo apt-get purge "openoffice*.*"

on the commandline.

The LibreOffice ppa can be added on Ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 with

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update

Libreoffice can then be installed with

sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Depending on the Desktop that is (Gnome or KDE), the following command is necessary:

For KDE:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-kde

For Gnome:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome
