I was trying to get AVG anti virus installed and try it on Suse as I was used to it on the left behind windows (Vista was it! No more microsoft!). One had to download a tarball to go with it or it wouldn't work. Don't ask what the name of the tarball. That was in the Fedora distro I tried for about a week and ever true to style, I've forgotten it. It was a tar.gz, however. Thanks for the answers. I can figure it out now if I have to. This brings up another question. Does Suse have some sort of security other than firewalls? I haven't seen any great importance on anti virus/spyware programs. Thanks all. I appreciate the friendliness and direct answers. 10 years ago when I tried it for a good while, I couldn't get that many answers. I got a lot of people who thought they were superior because I didn't know something. That could be another reason people aren't using linux. A few slaps in the face will drive people in droves back to windows. I suspect that happened. Well, I heard it had changed, it has, and I truly appreciate it. John
Anti-virus software is generally not necessary with Linux, unless it's being used as a mail or file server in a Windows network. AFIK, there's never been a viable Linux virus.
