Either would be perfectly fine.

I just now uninstalled kexi using the Ubuntu software manager, and then 
followed the listed tutorial for the new install of Calligra 2.9.11. But 
to my surprise, it merely re-installed the very same old version which 
I've had for ages (Kexi Version 2.8.5, Using KDE Platform Version 
4.14.13). So I'm afraid the tutorial is not working for installing 
Calligra 2.9.11. It just installs the ages old version of KOffice which 
comes with Ubuntu 14.04 repos. Please do let me know if you have a 
solution for this.
