I've got Mandrake 7.2 cheap version installed, and StarOffice-latest and 
greatest-comes with it. My version had 4 CD's and it was on one of the 
accessory disks (#3 or #4). But I must say I'm not impressed by 
Mandrake. I think they try too hard to be user-friendly, and as a result 
you get StarOffice installing smoothly (after you go get a Java runtime 
separate) and your HP DeskJet also, but KDE mysteriously locking up 
everything and Gnome suddenly losing the borders to its windows, never 
to return. Bottom line: too proprietary, too mysterious, too Packard 
Bell-ish...
