GZ is gzip .(sorta like pkzip, winzip, etc.). you can do this $ tar -zxvf
OOo_1.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz (the -z unzips the gzip)
or you can just do $ gunzip OOo_1.0.1_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz which will
unzip the file and will leave just the tarball which is the .tar then you
can just do $ tar -xvf <whateverfile>.tar
do $ man tar and it will give a good explanation of what the -x, v and f
does.... anywayz from there you should be able to figure the rest out..
btw.. i thought there was a (RPM) package for open office... but i could be
wrong.. *shrug* anywayz once you finish decrompressing the file
