Compile from source: Requires many hours and 4-5G temp work space (!!!!). 1. emerge openoffice 2. emerge openoffice-ximian Install binary: 1. emerge openoffice-bin 2. Download an openoffice binary tarball 3. Dowload an openoffice-ximian tarball. I'm lazy; I prefer the binary install. Some people swear by the -ximian builds, but I haven't noticed a lot of difference. YMMV.
