Question Info on How to Install Linux Software in LINDOWS


I am a new User of the LINDOWS OS 4. I was brosing the Lindows website and got to know that the OS allows to install DEBIAN software in it. THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW???

Linux Rocks...
Thank you in advance for the due consideration.

I went here and found some interesting stuff......

I will admit that this is the first time I have installed a debian based distribution since I ran the late Stormix back in the day so I was pretty eager to try my hand at the infamous apt-get. For more advanced users apt is a great and easy way to update and install software for FREE! Most of the free applications found in the Click-n-Run warehouse can be found in the debian packages. Looking in "/etc/apt/sources.list" you will find that the Lindows install comes with the default Debian apt sources already configured. The next step was to do a "apt-get update" and I was ready to go. My first line of business was to install gimp so that I could finally take some screenshots so I typed "apt-get install gimp" in the console and a minute later I was taking screenshots! It's that easy. I installed a few other packages and then installed Synaptic, a GUI frontend for apt. I then edited the Click-n-Run icons to launch Synaptic during my three day jaunt with Lindows. Using Synaptic I then installed OpenOffice.org, gftp, and many other packages. Synaptic isn't the most user-friendly way to install applications but it works and is free.
So it seems that apt is already installed!!

Enjoy apt.
