How to Install OpenOffice in Fedora 13

Scenario:

- You install Fedora on your system and succeeds
- You boot into it
- You want to type your first document or create your first spreadsheet on a linux platform
- Alas, you search the menu bar and realize that OpenOffice (MS Office open-source rival) is no where to be found

Don't fret my friend, here's how to install OpenOffice:

Step 1: Open a Terminal
Step 2: Log in as root user

# su root

It will prompt you to enter the root password that you've setup during installation (it's a mortal sin to forget this).

Step 3: Type this: yum groupinstall "Office/Productivity"

Ta da!
