Installing computer stuff! HELP ME!!

[Spark]

Okay, I offically SUCK at computers!

I have Linuz machine, with redhat...I have openoffice.org as my writer, draw, excel etc..I need to install this properly so I can look at documents, write a CV and get applying for some jobs.

I went to install the office writer thing, went along with the compuer, clicking next and then install. Then I go into my menu to load up the office and it is still telling me I need to install. but the folders etc have gone into my documents!!! ahh!!!

when Installing and you have an option of local and workstation installation, what is the difference?

does anyone know the answer? if yes, i will kiss you :heart:
