I installed most of the applications that didn't come with SimplyMepis that I needed that way. Not every application can be installed on every system. I had trouble installing GTK applications, but the Qt ones installed fine. There is a Koffice 1.5 beta there and it worked great on my system, although I only tried Kword. But this is definitely a very safe way to install on Linux since every required library is included in one compressed file. It is almost as easy as installing an application on a Mac.
