There's also OpenOffice on cooker mirrors:
/packages/mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/
openoffice-6.0.5-1mdk.i586.rpm (47mb)
This is the development of Staroffice using Sun's recently
released source code. http://openoffice.org/

I d/l'd and installed it out of curiosity. It does still work
with M$ Office files, but it is missing a lot of other functionality.
