I assume that you are at the same level of simplicity and find that the help

Suse has been around much longer than ubuntu and is a version of

I hasten to point out that freeware is not free software; in any way.
Free software is a system of morals and ethics which somehow results in
much of the software involved being free - as in price - to use.

You said you got someone else to install for you. Installs are about

Yes - cash book, address book c. I didn't have a cd and had never
