From=20the Googling I did on the subject recently there is no official=20 binary packages for OpenOffice available. It is available in the ports=20 tree. The following thread: http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=3D21 on D=C3=A6monForums.org has a link to a site: ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/FreeBSD/2.4.0/7.0-STABLE/= amd64/ With binary packages available for various versions of FreeBSD. Well, the= =20 thread pointed to the i386 packages, but the amd64 packages were easy=20 enough to find. I had no trouble installing OpenOffice 3 from ports on my i686 box, other= =20 than it taking 8+ hours to compile and my PC locked up shortly after it=20 completed. I thought it had locked up during the compile but eventually=20 discovered that it had completed the install successfully before locking=20 up. I'm still getting the kinks out of my ZFS tweaks.
