Just for a note, you need a java virtual machine. Look it up, because as
brushmaster1 said, p2p is against Forum policy. Generally they cause more problems than they are worth.

 

[trevor1]

alright then thanks for your help whiteskin.

But in Linux most programs work better since Linux uses memory corect;y, file security is better, and Viruses are near to none on linux. :up:
so dont give up on linux, once you get the skills you need and find a good linux help source it will take off for you.
good luck.
