Have you played around with free games? I'm currently amused by
Snowballz, and well, having the source around is fun too. I'm also
generally impressed with Wesnoth's AI, and I like to occasionally poke
around its very readable C++ source to see if I can figure out a way
to outsmart it.
Both of these are already packaged for Debian.

OO.o won't suit your needs?
I personally do everything in LaTeX and give them PDFs for documents
and slides presentations. On the rare cases when I do need a
spreadsheet, I work in OO.o and export as cvs. Of course, here in
mathematics LaTeX is a standard, and although it can be used for
pretty much *everything*, it does require sitting down for a day or so
to learn its syntax and different typesetting paradigm.
