Removing LibreOffice from Ubuntu 11.10

As I have gone away from using locally installed Office programs, and rather rely on a mixture of Google Docs and LaTeX for my Office-related needs, I have no need to have LibreOffice installed on my computers any more.

As I have also recently upgraded my laptop with an SSD and subsequently gone away from Windows 7 to Ubuntu on said laptop, I found myself interested in removing LibreOffice.

The following command in terminal should get rid of it:

sudo apt-get --purge remove libreoffice-core 

Terminal to file

I recently found myself interested in piping some terminal output to a file, but I could not remember the proper command to do so, and it took some effort to Google my way to the right command.

command > nameoftextfile.txt --- This overwrites the textfile.

command >> nameoftextfile.txt --- This appends new entries to the textfile.
