Short answer, no.
Longer answer, the last version of StarOffice that was released
was 5.2, and was closed. Now we have OpenOffice, which hasn't had
any "commercial" releases, and is releasing a pile of betas as
OpenOffice 6.(05|09|14). I'm sure that someone (Caolan?) will
know what isn't currently working in there, and what is, but I do
remember that when I tried to do the /net install for 6.09, it
didn't work (I think it stalled somewhere in the install - I also
think it's a known problem) - which means I haven't yet had the
pleasure of trying OpenOffice out.
