Hi again all:

I downloaded StarOffice from Sun and it came down as a .bin file. What should I do to extract/run this? TIA!!!

Just make it executable and run it. If you're in the same directory as the .bin file, just run:
chmod +x filename.bin
./filename

I remember in redhat you could use a menu (i think by right clicking on the file) to give it the proper permissions. Think of the .bin file like a .exe file in this case
