    Which LibreOffice?

    I am trying to install LibreOffice using a dot deb. The problem is that the main download link gives me a file which, when uncompressed, contains a very large amount of dot debs. So, I went to the mirrors and the choices for English are:

    LibO-SDK_3.3_beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
    LibO-SDK_3.3_beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz.asc
    LibO-URE_1.7_beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
    LibO-URE_1.7_beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz.asc
    LibO_3.3.0_beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz
    LibO_3.3.0_beta2_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz.asc

    Then question now is, what is an SDK and what is a URE? Google is not being cooperative.

    PS: I know there was information here earlier, but the site search function is currently down.

      Thanks Snowhog. That is at least educational. However, I am still not sure which one I need to download in order to install LibreOffice. As mentioned earlier, the "GNU/Linux 64-bit distributions" just gives me a whole mess of dot debs which I have no idea what to do with. I'm familiar with installing debs otherwise but just not understanding this whole thing. Is there some other place to get this?

        Well, unless you are a developer, I'd be sticking with the LibO_3.3.0_beta2_Linux_x86-64 package.
