Disable the Libreoffice Spash Screen for good!

LibreOffice is the best, heaps better than paying for crappy Microsoft Products, but the splash screen gets in the way when it loads.

There are a few ways to defeat this, one involves having LibreOffice quickstarter running on startup. No, sorry that would be a unnecessary memory hog and something I would expect from a M$ product.

Here is the best way to prevent the splash from being visible.

In Linux, sudo gedit the file /etc/libreoffice/sofficerc

and change Logo=1 to Logo=0
Save the file.

OpenOffice is Dead, move on to LibreOffice NOW!

OpenOffice has being the saviour from the M$ wage, but now it has being
brought out by Oracle so it's future is unknown.

A group of OpenOffice people have started LibreOffice, which is a free and
open source improvement on the current OpenOffice program, adding heaps more
features and functionality. It drives exactly the same way as OpenOffice
BTW.

LibreOffcie is being rolled out in the next version of Ubuntu, 11.04 and is
available to download right now. Windows users are also encouraged to
remove OpenOffice and replace it with LibreOffice.
