Instructions for installing OpenOffice 3 with a suite of other helpful 
programs for the asus EEEPC900:

 From a GNU/Linux Desktop... I'm using Debian
1. download the following:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openclipart/openclipart-openoffice.org_0.18+dfsg-5_all.deb

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openclipart/openclipart-png_0.18+dfsg-5_all.deb
