One more question on Staroffice (I finally found it and am currently downloading it.) It only comes in a tar.gz version for Staroffice 4. It says it's for OpenLinux. Anyone know anything about putting it on a Debian machine? I'm running hamm. Speak easy. I've only been using Debian Linux a week, so any step-by-steps on this would be great.
