[KLUG Members] recommended office suite

[Wesley Leonard]

Sent the results of this command to the list:

file setup    (run it in the dir where the setup file is located)

That'll tell you exactly what it is.

My first impression was that it isn't a compatible binary file (like it's
written for Mac or Sparc, not Intel).
You might also want to go to www.ximian.org and install red-carpet and
just use that to install open office.
good luck!
