[Techtalk] OpenOffice

[jennyw]

This only helps the debian people, but ...

I added:

deb http://ftp.openoffice.tuxfamily.org/openoffice unstable main contrib

to sources.list and was able to install without a problem. I tried some of
the other locations listed at
http://www.linux-debian.de/openoffice/mirrors.html, but this is the one that
ended up working for me.
