I'm not familiar with Freespire. If it's Linux, you won't need an antivirus. The vast majority of malware is written for Windows. As for adding programs, hopefully, someone familar with Freespire can help. I would guess that it has a software manager somewhere in its menus that will allow you to search for available packages. Ah, a quick look at Distrowatch indicates that it's Ubuntu/Debian based. So, to search for software, use aptitude search <program_you_want> and when you find the name do aptitude install <program_name> If you get, after typing aptitude something like command not found, then just do apt-get install aptitude As you've said you're completely new to it, I should probably mention that you should do this by opening a terminal. Also, if it's Ubuntu based, the user you created should have sudo privilege. The commands I gave (for installing, such as aptitude install will need to be done with sudo, e.g., sudo aptitude install <program_name>). -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Anya: What a day.
