There is debian package of OOo 2.2.1 available in the unstable. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/editors/openoffice.org but you will need to upgrade to unstable if you want to use it. But you are lucky as there is a version available in backports, which you can use in stable without upgrading to unstable. Using backports.org is very simple: 1. Add this line deb http://www.backports.org/debian etch-backports main contrib non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list. 2. Run apt-get update 3. All backports are deactivated by default. If you want to install something from backports run: apt-get -t etch-backports install "package" Of course, you can use aptitude as well: aptitude -t etch-backports install "package" For more about backports see http://www.backports.org Hope this helps.
