Hi Peter,
Getting used to the way things are done in Linux takes time if you're used
to Windows. You can install most software packages from either
Applications>Add/Remove or by using the Synaptic package manager found in
System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager. Using Synaptic you will be
able to install Firestarter (firewall) and ClamAV (anti-virus). Personally I
usually only install Firestarter.

Hello. I am a newbie to Linux system! My test bed is a partitioned
Pentium 3 also running the old MS Millenium Windows no longer
supported
that I can access via the intial Linux boot choice command. I
also run
an XP Tower and Laptop all on broadband. Being an old retired
guy I need
some encouragement and advice. Can access most things but need
advice on
how much security I get from version 6-06. I run McAfee firewall
and
viroscan on my Laptop and MS XP Firewall and AVG Free on my XP
Tower.
Linux security is a 'black hole' to me. Have tried to install
Snort and
lost myself somewhere out there on the internet! I have
downloaded the
new OpenOffice version from 2.0 to 2.2 but lost this program
somewhere
in the strange Linux filing system! How do I install it? Many
thanks.
