Installing OpenOffice.org 2.0 for Debian

When you download openoffice, usually you will get bunch of rpm files. Then how to install these files in a debian system? Here is a very nice article which will guide you to go through this process.
Basically use the following command to finish the installation (this is better than the above link expplained).
alien -k *.rpm(this will generate the deb files)
dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb (--force-overwrite helps when files belong to different packages).

The above command will install the software. Then go to "desktop-integration" folder to install the start menue.
dpkg -i *.deb
