Need a little help here for an rpm centric user
A .deb is fundamentally the same as a .rpm, just the tools are different.
I put the latest OOo beta in my Ubuntu box and ran alien with -i to convert and install
I think you're making things a bit harder for yourself by doing this. There seems to be a version of OOo 1.9.113 or .114 available for ubuntu already. From reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=46758 and looking at http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org2/, I'd suggest trying to install the package "openoffice.org2" As the root user in a shell, do something like: aptitude install openoffice.org2 You might need to add the universe repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
