The above lets you download an Ubuntu, Debian etc installation. However, at least for Ubuntu there seems to be a problem. I have a headless server. I've downloaded the Linux x86-64 DEB http://www.openoffice.org/download/other.html But that will only install onto a server with a Desktop unless I'm missing some information. Once downloaded I do the following: tar xvfz Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.0_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz which extracts everything to an ./en-US directory the en-US directory contains several dozen .DEB files dpkg -i <all the .deb files> that will emit errors concerning gui/desktop requirements so it appeared to me that those can only be installed on a server with a desktop and NOT on a headless machine. Maybe I missed some documentation but I know you can start openoffice in headless mode once its installed BUT in this case how can you install it on a headless machine in the first place?
