thanks for ur concern !!

Also if someone has in mind a good neebie tutorial of how to use and do simple things through linux plz let me know it cause i am unable to work with linux right now

i use suse 10.1 if that has a relation

There are thousands if not millions of links on here and google for simple Linux info, it just takes some research (get used to it )

as for .exe Linux doens't support them natively, it's a windows binary, compiled for windows systems. You will need wine - www.winehq.com.

what is it? MSN messenger? there are lots of other (read: much better) prgrams such as gaim, kopete that support multiple protocols

.part means the file isnt even completely downloaded...

ty alot or ur help and ty for the asap reply

.. and if your looking for an instant messanger check out gaim

aMSN is a clone of MSN messenger.
You have to use yum on Suze I think? Or is that on Fedora?

Hi there,

To be able to run an .exe on Linux machines, you have to make a windows emulation. The emulation will run the program you want. Most .exe can be run from an emulator.

Depending on the .exe, I use either "wine" or "CrossOver". You can download one of these two on the web.
