K12LTSP 5EL is based on CentOS 5. So the version of OpenOffice.org in
the CentOS 5 repositories is what you get when you install
OpenOffice.org. CentOS being a rebuild of RHEL, you're going to get
whatever Red Hat ships at the moment. And RHEL being an enterprise
Linux distribution this means you're not getting the latest version,
but a stable version. (By the way, I believe there is no current Linux
distribution shipping OpenOffice.org 3.0 at the moment.) But you can
probably download the 3.0 rpms from the OpenOffice.org site and
install those instead: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html Just
know that yum won't be keeping OpenOffice.org patched anymore, so
you'll have to track updates yourself.
