Thanks for these instructions.

I have a few small issues with the instructions.  Starting with 
instruction zero is funny and cool.  It mimics the Richard Stallman 
method of numbering his four freedoms.  However, IMHO, starting 
with zero confuses people.  Maybe that's just a North America 
perspective, I don't know.  But I have always started counting with 
one.  

Also, I am probably going to have to use Jabber.  I have never been 
able to get Gaim or Gabber to work for me.  Frankly, though, that's 
not an issue for me, personally, because I don't usually 
participate in chats.  I don't know why.  I guess they still seem a 
little bit too unfamiliar for me.  

But you might want to let SuSE users know that they can use Jabber, 
too.  I have used it about three times, and I was actually able to 
get it working. 

I think that your instructions are good, though.  IMHO, we need more 
dirt simple instructions like this on the OOo site.  I have added a 
link here:
