    Openoffice.org overloaded but it can be downloaded going though OpenOffice Mirrors Project http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/

    To install OpenOffice 3.0 on Ubuntu.


    Download the file OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_english-US_deb.tar.gz

    Now you need to right click it and extract or run this command:
    tar xzf OOo_3.0.0_LinuxIntel_install_english-US_deb.tar.gz


    That will create a number of folders. Now move into those folders:


    *remember to substitute your name for username*

    cd /home/username/Desktop/OOO300_m9_native_packed-1_en-US.9358/DEBS


    sudo dpkg -i *.deb


    Create a link on your Panel.
    Right click the panel and choose “Add to Panel” and “Custom Application Launcher”.


    Add this line to your command line and select an icon for the application in the panel.
    /opt/openoffice.org3/program/soffice

    Now click you icon on the panel and it will start.

    Hmmmm. Suitably unimpressed. The first word doc I opened only shows the first 6 pages of 8. Beta quality IMO.

    edit: Same happened with the same doc in 2.4. Opens fine in word mind you.

    To install it properly in Bunty you'll need to remove the OOo shipped in Ubuntu and also remove the ubuntu-desktop package (it's a meta package so it's safe to remove).

    Bear in mind if you do an OS upgrade you'll need to reinstall the ubuntu-desktop package before you do so.
