Want to install the new LibreOffice on Ubuntu or a Debian-based distribution? Although the Document Foundation doesn’t yet offer .deb binaries for these distros, you can use the provided .rpm packages to install LibreOffice on a machine running Ubuntu or Debian. To do this, you need to convert .rpm packages to .deb using the alien tool. To install alien on Ubuntu, run the sudo apt-get install alien command. Grab then the latest release of LibreOffice from the project’s Web site, unpack the downloaded .tar.gz archive, rename the resulting directory to libreoffice, and move it into your home directory. Launch the terminal, and switch to the RPMS directory and use alien to convert all .rpm packages in the directory:
cd libreoffice/RPMS/
sudo alien -k *.rpm
Install then the resulting .deb packages using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
This installs the productivity suite, but it doesn’t provide any desktop integration. Fortunately, this problem is easy to fix. Switch to the desktop-integration directory and convert the libreoffice3.3-freedesktop-menus-3.3-9526.noarch.rpm package:
cd desktop-integration/
alien -k libreoffice3.3-freedesktop-menus-3.3-9526.noarch.rpm
Install then the converted package using the sudo dpkg -i libreoffice3.3-freedesktop-menus_3.3-9526_all.deb command. This adds LibreOffice menu entries to the Applications | Office menu and integrates LibreOffice with your desktop.

Tuxpaint is an open source graphics program that occupies a special niche: it is designed for children. This makes it a rarity in the software community known for every developer scratching his or her own itch. Thankfully there are developers reaching out of their comfort zone to write applications for those too young to learn Bash and Python on their own — without that effort, kids might not get exposed to free software until they took programming. If you have never looked at it, Tuxpaint deserves some attention, both because it is a great product for kids, and because it may make you rethink the approaches we take to user interfaces. On top of that, there are some intriguing raster graphics functions hidden behind that seemingly simple interface….

“My idea was to create 2 doors to represent the home of the giver and the home of the receiver. They could be used by neighbors and friends when giving each-other a homemade gift this autumn, on jars, boxes, bags of cookies, baskets of vegetables, what ever they like, really. I wrote From Our Home… …to Yours! on the top, but left plenty of blank space in the middle to add personal text.” said Tricia Wilson

The second illustration is using our round labels WL-350, and are designed to coordinate with the first set. They simple bird stickers that can be used as they are, yet there is enough blank area to add text.

A while back I wrote an article entitled “Important Tips For Starting Your Own Small Brewery” in which I recommended that new brewers and those wanting to open a new brewery learn all they can, prepare to be the person that does all the heavy lifting while ensuring getting a good accountant. In this article I want to update those ideas and focus on the presentation a newbie should make to the beer buying community. A few simple steps can help any start up brewery ensure that the message is getting out without creating too many new expenses when you can least afford them.
