I have been at it two days and nights of research and 'trial & error', i am pleased to say i am now the proud and happy user of ubuntu linux 10.04, (or whatever it's called lol), and now download through usenet ssl and know how to launch windows progs in wine, woo hoo, that's me all happy and TIRED, thanks for all the help but one thing bothers me is that i keep reading you don't need antivirus with ubuntu linux, is this true as i feel insecure at not having one, i've been an avid user of Avira on my windows 7 for about 2 years, would it hurt to use that, or do i seriously not need a/v?
Thanks again
