lordjubblydave Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) What are you downloading ? As a rule Linux does not really install software by downloading a package and double clicking it. You normally get new software through a package manager or similar (app store) Although i have never used Xandros. This might help Also are you new to Linux ? if you are i would recommend using something a bit more mainstream like Ubuntu or Mint or Mandriva or Fedora or Opensuse.

Tornado Rex Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 It should. Try it out, if it doesn't do what you like try a different distro. ~ Proud Supporter of the Child's Play Charity! | GTANET + Child's Play ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
