It is safe to use Java in programs like OpenOffice and LibreOffice since the programs themselves are trusted and you aren't retrieving untrusted code over the Internet. The problem lies with the web browser plugin, since that can retrieve Java code from untrusted sources. (Incidentally, most people could get away with running OpenOffice without having Java installed.)

I'm not computer illiterate but still found the installation procedure for Ubuntu to be annoying and overly difficult. The installation of Ubuntu gave me a number of options but never explained their significance.

I actually find that statement curious since Ubuntu has one of the easiest installation processes around, especially when compared to older versions of Windows (e.g. XP). I'm also fairly certain that Ubuntu's default installation didn't use a separate partition for /home.
