Instead of Write, use Abiword.

Instead of Calc, use Gnumeric

There's no real equivalent to Impress, although you might like to take
a look at the KOffice suite, which includes KPresenter.  It also
includes KWord (word processor) and KSpread (spreadsheet) but which
IMHO are inferior to Abiword and Gnumeric.
