I doubt that the "unofficial" Debian distribution is any smaller.  The 
OOo2.0 distribution takes ~284MB (OOo2.0 shipped with stripped 
executable files) compared to ~219MB for OOo1.1.5 (which was about the 
same for OOo1.1.4) plus the required jre weighing in at ~87MB.  Remember 
2.0 added a database engine to the mix.    The openoffice website 
indicates that 2.0 will take 200MB disk space on linux - which was 
somewhat optimistic.
