ooqstart-gnome does not quickstart the install, it keeps an openoffice
thread in memory at all times so that documents are opened very fast. If
you have sufficient RAM, it is very convenient because otherwise
openoffice is really slow to launch.

The Openoffice package is openoffice.org

Why .org ? I have no idea, but it's Openoffice for you.

I ended up getting openoffice.org, it's very slow loading as it's 
running on xbox debian, it does the job though. Although i 
have found it does not always open .xls files, it somtimes 
says file is passwd protected and it not.

.org because it is part of the actual name - originally it was to be
called just OpenOffice, but after using that name for a bit, it was
found that it was already in use for something else. Well, the domain
name was there, and suffiently different in trademark terms, and it
carries with it the not-for-profit nature of free software - that ended
up being accepted.

openoffice.org and koffice should do the trick.  Curious what error
you got trying to install koffice, I think it's a bit further along
and plays more nicely with standard unix tools like ispell than OOo
does.

This site lists 7 mirrors for all three current distros (woody, sarge, sid).

http://www.linux-debian.de/openoffice/mirrors.html

I personally use the freenet.de server, as it is the fastest.
