Many new computers come with OpenOffice.org installed. In addition, most Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, include OpenOffice.org.
 
 
If you need to install it yourself, it’s very easy to do. You can download the OpenOffice.org installation package from the [http://www.openoffice.org/ project’s home page] or by using the Peer to Peer client, BitTorrent. [http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/ Instructions for BitTorrent are here.]
 
 
The installation package is approximately 150MB. People with slow internet connections may prefer to purchase a copy on a CD or DVD from a third-party distributor. The project maintains a [http://distribution.openoffice.org/cdrom/sellers.html list of distributors], but the distributors are not connected with, nor endorsed by, OpenOffice.org.

OpenOffice.org 3 requires one of the following operating systems:

  • Microsoft Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 (Service Pack 2 or higher), Windows XP, Windows 2003, or Windows Vista
  • GNU/Linux Kernel version 2.2.13 and glibc 2.2.0 or newer
  • Mac OS X 10.4.x, X11 required; Mac OS X 10.5+ without X11
  • Solaris version 8 or higher

Some OpenOffice.org features (wizards and the HSQLDB database engine) require that the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) be installed on your computer. Although OOo will work fine without Java support, some features will not be available. You can download OOo with or without JRE included.

For a more detailed (and up-to-date) listing of requirements, see ((fill in when reference is available)).
