I installed mandrake 10 a few days ago and being a total Linux newbie i 've got some questions.

1)I've tried to install/write to some folders and get a denied message being should i be denied access to any files being that my account should be admin, or am i still thinking windows here?

2)what would be the default installation directory for files i.e. program files in windows?

3)is there any good firewalls, like outpost or black ice for Linux?

4)know that Linux is inherently more secure but is an AV needed yet?

5)i didn't have one of my drives in it's cradle when i installed, how do i add this ntfs drive so i can read it in linux

hope u can help i'm sure i'll have many more questions in the future, thanks in advance

p.s any good newbie support site recommendations welcomed.
