It's the Wal-Mart linux desktop computer: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7754614 gOS is basically Ubuntu with an Enlightenment E17 desktop (http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about/e17&l=en) rather then Gnome or KDE. The updates & files used are directly from the Ubuntu repos with some small modifications. It appears that they are running the Ubuntu'ized 2.3.0 version of OOo - don't know for sure yet as I'm still downloading the gOS iso.

These links should help to get you started: http://www.openoffice.org/ http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/new.html http://support.openoffice.org/index.html http://documentation.openoffice.org/ To learn about what is under the green desktop cover, I recommend that you spend some time on the Ubuntu websites: http://ubuntu.com http://ubuntuforums.org/ [You can even ask questions about E17 and gOS there as well.] Also note, that because the Ubuntu/gOS version of OOo has been modified from the OpenOffice.org version, you should probably review the Ubuntu bug lists first in the event of problems with (U)OOo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/ I note that you said: "Openoffice came preinstalled on the Everex gPC TC2502 computer. It is also a single worked based computer and will not be connected to the net." You'll need to occasionally connect the computer to the internet to receive security and other updates.
