New to Linux

If you HAVE to have anti-virus, Avast, Avira, AVG, and Panda are free for Linux (same as for Windows) and Kaspersky, NOD32, and Sophos for payware. There is also Clam Anti-virus, an open source virus checker, that while no where near as good as the closed ones, is good enough for what you'd need it for in Linux

But like I said. You don't need an antivirus. If you want, run Gufw, a graphical interface to the Firewall you'll find under Ubuntu, makes it much easier, though, again, with the way Linux in general is set up, you don't need to worry about it.

Panda doesn't work for ubuntu right? If I were to use my current key for kaspersky, can it work or do I need to buy a new license? What is the link for Kaspersky?

[heart reaper]

It works only if you remove the current key and uninstall the application from your older computer. Only then you can use the key on another computer.

Ubuntu is Linux, so yes, Panda would work for Ubuntu. As for Kaspersky, no clue, don't use it under Linux myself.

But I check the system requirements, it didn't support ubuntu. It just support other stuff like RedHat and other stuff.

Is there any photoshop which I can use with Linux? My father likes to take photo. Currently, he uses Picture Manager but let say if I were to change to Linux, which photoshop can I use?

[hellnoire]

The GIMP is a powerful alternative to Photoshop and Photoshop CS2 is considered Gold (that is, it works perfectly with little configuring) under Wine. And while it says it might support Red Hat, it means it's a RPM, which with a little tweaking, we can make into a DEB for Ubuntu Linux

As well, we have less powerful tools too

Edit: What I mean is that Red Hat has one type of installer, and Ubuntu has another. But with another program, we can change Red Hat's installer type to make it Ubuntu's, so it would work.

I am talking about Panda for Ubuntu. It does not support. no way I am going for AVG. By any vhance, do you know the link to the Kaspersky site for Linux. I google it, all I found was Business. What I had in mind was KIS for home if they have....

[hellnoire]

They don't have it for non-business users, which is a shame.. but you're not going to find suites under Linux.

What I would do if I were you, and really wanting an suite for Linux, would be to use that Gufw and ClamWin, both of which are free and work well enough for what you need them to do

Can google chrome works with Linux?

[hellnoire]

Chrome itself does not, but Chromium does, and it's basically the same thing, just rewritten for Linux
