I'm not sure why people are saying this. In the last 24 hours, I've
installed OOo (yes, that's the new abbreviation for Open Office) on a
Windows 2000 Pro machine and a Debian workstation. I used the -net option
on Windows (as Administrator), and Debian seems to install OOo with -net by
default. Then, it's a simple matter of running the setup program as an end
user, letting it copy a couple of megs of data to that user's home
directory, and using Open Office in all its happiness.
I really don't know how much better they could get it. Root installs the
bulk of the system, and users have a tiny local config of their own. What's
left to be worked on?

No more easily than any other Debian package.
