Does run stable? Any known bugs?
I've installed it and it rums pretty well so far and it opened my .docx documents fairly well with a few glitches natch, but better than with 3.6.x
I installed it and so far no problems.
BTW: Can anyone tell me on what font settings the LO-*UI* fonts depend? My DE is fluxbox ;-). Here most (not all) programms have sufficently big fonts, and with LO they are to small.
LO4 should be completely fine, as is amarok 2.7. They are sitting in exp. because of the freeze. I remember we had a perfectly fine OO 3.0 sitting in exp. during the last freeze too.

Hmmmmmm ....
grave bugs of libreoffice-impress (1:3.6.2~rc1-1 -> 1:4.0.0-1) <unfixed>
#701024 - libreoffice-impress: impress 4.0 cannot open any presentation writen by impress 3.6.x
Summary:
libreoffice-impress(1 bug)
**********************************************************************
****** Exiting with an error in order to stop the installation. ******

E: Sub-process /usr/sbin/apt-listbugs apt || exit 10 returned an error code (10)

Is that the only problem with LO 4?
hmmm, since I never use impress, I will install LO4 and test it later :-)
I tried LibreOffice a long time ago and the experience was so bad it convinced me nothing compares to Apache OpenOffice.
That does not hold true anymore. Au contraire.

@Dibl: I have only some older odp on my computer, since I never have to use impress. I tested the older odp's with LO 4 and think everything works fine. No problems here!
I don't understand how you guys are getting LO 4 to install. "apt-get install -t experimental libreoffice" did not do the job, but it did pull in the packages. So I went to use dpkg:
root@imerabox:/var/cache/apt/archives# dpkg -i libreoffice*
Selecting previously unselected package libreoffice.

LO4 installed here completely without hickups by apt-get install (64-bit) a week ago and last night on a notebook.

I also installed it last night (64-Bit).
The only problem I found until now is that the package libreoffice-filter-binfilter , which is responsible for handling the older file formats (i.e. for Star-Office 5.2 and older) is missing yet.
As I still have quite a number of such files archived I hope that this package follows soon too.

@ReinerS,
it was the main goal and intention of the libreoffice fork to make the source code of the project maintainable again and dump old code.
When I compile with Gentoo:
libreoffice-3 = ca 7 Gigabyte used
libreoffice-4 = ca 2 Gigabyte used
This was to enable faster development.
@ReinerS, did you try to open these old files? For some old formats libreoffice-4 should be able to just read. If you then "save as newerFormat" you should be able to edit ...

Thought to give it another try, but after seeing the new colorful website quickly changed my mind.
I can't judge ApacheOO, and I can understand that an ugly HP can prevent an user from trying a software, but I only want to make clear: With Debian there is no need to download LO from their HP, it's in the repo. And appart from this little green greeting window, LO is as colorfull as every other application.
@ralul:
Yes, I tried that withoput sucess. It opened a window with quite a huge selection of possible file-types but the ones I tried did not work.
Maybe I'll have to try them all.
I however could overcome that probably by opening the files on another computer of mine and resave them as you suggested.

Reiner
Add:[/u]Found also another Method. Abiword opens those files over here. Can resave them then to newer format.
