May I suggest shortening the tarball extraction command in the
"Installing Open Office 2.0" section...

 From this:

   A. gzip -d Ooo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz; \
       tar -xvf Ooo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar

To this:

   A. gzip -cd Ooo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Why not go all the way:

tar -xzvf Ooo_2.0.0_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz

(though it's late now and I might be missing something)
