Ya I wish some of my favorite tools could be transfered, hell give me cat, grep, awk & sed and you can filter any amount of information to whatever you want it to be. (CLI FTW!!) :smilewinkgrin:

Well if the application is not to specific to the OS design and is coded with say a common language like C, (not always) it can be recompiled for a different platform or even hardware architecture.
 
Haha, Just got this computer and haven't had time to baby it.

Browser Firefox
SecurityAVG
Img Manip GIMP
IM MSN 8.5 w/ Plus.
Word Processing OpenOffice

Pidgin supports MSN if you absolutely must use MSN. At least you don't have to use the MSN client.

Pidgin is just a cover over for the core applications true name, "GAIM". I like the old name better.
