[Tfug] linux distro including staroffice 7? or how to read wordperfect docs on linux? or what's up with sun's java desktop

[Andrew Huntwork]

I'm about to buy staroffice 7 so that my wife can import wordperfect 
docs produced at her office on her laptop that now runs fedora core 2 
(possibly much to her dismay -- but it must be better than a win me 
install that decided not to boot anymore).  Is there another easy way 
for her to import those docs on linux?  (i actually have corel 
wordperfect 8 for linux (WINE based) but it is buggy to the extent of 
truncating documents along with their backup files -- which I found out 
the hard way 3 times).

So since i'm going to shell out some cash for linux software (something 
i haven't done since crossover office 1), i'd like to get the most bang 
for my buck, so i figured i could get a distro maybe including support 
or other apps for about the same price as staroffice 7 alone ($80). 
does anyone know of a linux distribution that includes staroffice 7?

It looks like Sun's Java Desktop does have staroffice 7 (along with some 
other interesting stuff), but i wonder if i'll be able to install SO 7 
from java desktop on fedora core 2.  Does Java Desktop use RPM's or 
what?  Does its packages have normal dependencies?  Basically, what's up 
with packages on Java Desktop, and specifically, what's up with its 
staroffice packages?

Thanks for the help.
