Open Office Install for Dummies

I'm looking to present a free solution to my office... they don't want to give Bill Gates any more money. Their frustration is at the level that they've asked me to look into free alternatives to Office.

I immediately remembered OpenOffice so I went to check it out.

Here's what I've done...
1) Went to Apple's website and downloaded X11
2) Went to OpenOffice.org and downloaded it

I installed X11 and attempted to install OpenOffice... but I think I'm missing something... how does this all work.

I guess I'm looking for a start to finish walkthrough of how to get OpenOffice up and running on my G5... Do I need to also download XDarwin? I plead ignorant and defer to your intelligence on this one.... help
