Hi there,
glad that u are actually converting the whole damn box to
freebsd. ( I still keep my windows for diablo2 and counterstrike ).
You might wanna post here regarding ur setup + problems so that we might be
able to help you with it.
Yes, Staroffice can be installed and run from the ports system in Freebsd.
THere are a few links and help in the mailing lists regarding running quake3
and unreal tournament that might help you with it.
Read the freebsd handbook, you will enjoy it
