  4. I've never tried clamav, so I don't know, iccaros:-) This is my first Linux anti-virus program that I've tried. It is straight-forward to use. Interesting to note I was able to install it on my Ubuntu box as well, the tar.gz archive works on slackware and ubuntu. I just opened up a shell prompt, navigated to my download directory issued su for root access then issued this command and hit enter. tar -xzvf (filename).tar.gz Then to create an icon you can launch the program with from your start menu you navigate to avast4workstation-1.0.5/bin/avastgui Edit, added later: You also update the

So I fired up my konsole and used lynx to download, install Freerock Gnome 2.12.3. Patrick eliminated Gnome from Slackware in version 10.1, but, you can download and install Gnome from freerock. Everything seems to work okay. I'll most likely be reverting back to KDE when 11.0 is released. This isn't too bad I guess.
