If you want to use the latest LibreOffice builds (OpenOffice fork), then now it is much easier to do this with the PPA created for it.
Until now, users have had to install LibreOffice by downloading multiple deb packages. Manual installation also caused users to work with older versions.
Using PPA ensures that you will be notified of updates immediately, and the update process itself will be much easier.
PPA provides packages for Ubuntu 10.04, 10.10 and 11.04 users. The latest version so far is the second release candidate.

To add the PPA and install LibreOffice RC2, write in the console:
(note that if you have OpenOffice installed, it will be removed)sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libreoffice
After that, to look native, write:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-gnome
Or in the case of Kubuntu:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-kde
