About ports and distributions
Apache OpenOffice (AOO) is a productivity suite which is already officially available for the following platforms:
- Windows - XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 (32-bit)
- Linux - RPM / DEB-based (32-bit and 64-bit)
- macOS (Intel) - 10.4 (Tiger) up to 15 (Sequoia)
- macOS (ARM) - 11 (Big Sur) up to 15 (Sequoia) via emulation (Rosetta 2)
What is a port?
When making AOO available for another operating system or CPU architecture, then this is called "porting or a port". Usually this is done on the source code level.More general information here.
What is a distribution?
When taking an already available AOO installation and package it in a different way to make it ready to run directly, e.g., from a USB stick resp. CD/DVD or on another Linux OS, then this is called "distribution or distro".More general information here.
