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.
