Configuring Software - LibreOffice
LibreOffice is the successor of OpenOffice, which was gobbled up by Oracle/Sun as a means of competing with Microsoft Office and thus became divergent from the open-source community.
LibreOffice is a free, open-source office productivity suite that can read and write formats compatible with the Microsoft Office suite. We'll emerge the binary package to save compilation time. LibreOffice has spell-checking support built in, so unlike OpenOffice, there's no need to emerge and configure other package.
$ sudo emerge -av libreoffice-bin
You can now access LibreOffice's applications from the "Office" portion of your menu.
