It has come to my attention that a very popular question for new users of Xandros and Linux in general is how to install programs. I would like to provide a list of helpful threads that answer many common questions in great detail regarding how to install programs in Xandros. I ask that new users please take a look at these posts before posting a new thread since many questions have already been answered. Thank you.

This is by no means a comprehensive list, but it should take care of the majority of questions new users have. I welcome other links to posts on this forum or HOW-TOs off the internet (as long as they're current). Hope this helps, and welcome to Xandros.

P.S. to the Moderators - Sorry for the dupe post, feel free to remove one if you like. I figured this was important enough to go in different areas though.

Techie I am adding this link as well. Thanks Eric
