The link to the English mirror is no good ("no such file or directory".
If you want to check it yourself, this is the link:
ftp://ftp.unixcenter.ru/LinuxXP/desktop/2006/english/
I got that link from
ftp://linux-xp.com/pub/linux-xp/desktop/2006/english/MIRRORS.txt
which in turn is filed on ftp://linux-xp.com/pub/linux-xp/desktop/
It seems that the distro is based on rpm so you should be able to
install your download. You will have to install menu shortcuts
yourself. (I can't help wondering why, of all the Linux distros, you
chose a distro designed for speakers of Russian.)
First, check the md5sum. The md5sums are listed on this page which also
contains a link to instructions for using them:
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.3/md5sums.html
Secondly, if your download meets the md5sum check, you need to unpack
the download and run the rpms. Full instructions are in the Setup
Guide, of which there are two versions:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE_A4.pdf
Wishing you the best of British.

seem to find it on my hard drive and I can't seem to find my other hard

Welcome to Linux!
I'm not familiar with Linux XP 2006, but most Linux distributions come
with OpenOffice.org already installed, and also an easy way to install
software. (Searching for software on the internet, downloading it, and
installing it has more to do with Windows than Linux!)
I've found some screenshots of Linux XP 2006 at the Tuxmachines site,
and from the look of it, it doesn't come with OpenOffice.org already
installed.
But it does seem have an easy way to install software called the
"Add/Update Software Wizard". (It looks like you start this from the
Linux XP 2006 Control Panel by clicking "Add/Update software" from the
Applications section.) The bottom program listed is oo2, which is
OpenOffice.org 2. It looks like you just have to click the tick box, and
click finish, and OpenOffice will be installed automatically for you.
And I assume that it will install it for you in English!
