Hiya!
I can recommend Star Office. Sun sent me a CD last year - the installation ran perfectly. You could certainly put it on any 'users' desktop running on SuSE and fool them into thinking it was something from the Redmond (un)stable.

On a related point, I've been impressed by the recent advances in Gnome Office. AbiWord is rapidly approaching 1.0 in both number and quality, while the vector charting program Dia is very useful (even if there is a nasty bug in the flowchart symbols). I'll get around to trying the other bits sometime.
