Wow... as a newbie.. I guess...I should have "read" more info... which I have
read.. quite a bit.. and I never saw anything about this install issue.

I basiclly switched to be MS free and thought that programs like mozilla TB,
Sunbird, NVU ... and programs like moneydance ... had linux versions... so
that I could make the switch and use all of my same programs.  

I guess.. I am going to have to learn how to install these programs...some how..
