Installing OpenOffice 2.0 On Ubuntu
For those who are interested, I continue to feel better. I am walking a lot, and taking whatever exercise I can. I seem to be tolerating the activity; therefore, I continue. I believe that I am getting better, and that my heart is getting stronger. I am thankful to God, and I look forward to my next visit to the cardiologist so that my belief can be confirmed.
I am installing OpenOffice on my machine today, and I realized that some people may not know how to install an RPM on a Debian based machine. I do not have time to write at length, but if you are already fairly able to manage a Linux installation, but you know more about RPMs than about apt-get, this will help.
Basically, follow the installation instructions you find at the OpenOfiice site, but instead of typing “rpm -Uvih *rpm” type “alien -iv *rpm”. Alien will convert the RPM packages to DEB and then install them. Good luck. I hope this helps.
