Open Office

[beejunk at gmail.com]

Well, I've tried to install Open Office on top of Ubuntu Studio before, but  
the GUI is all sorts of messed up. This is what led me to think it was some  
technical reason why it was left out.

I understand perfectly well that Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia suite, but I  
personally use Office suites quite a bit while working on design and audio  
stuff, so that's the reason I ask. I am also familiar with how to add  
software. Seriously, this was a simple question that did not demand nor  
require an odd (and rude) lecture about Ubuntu vs. Windows.

Anyway, I don't wish this to turn into another flame thread. Does anyone  
else have a suggestion as to how to get Open Office working smoothly under  
Ubuntu Studio, or if even such a thing is wise?
