If you are using Linux Mint and are new to Linux then you can use the Software Manager to manage your applications. If you are using a recent version of Ubuntu then you will find the Ubuntu Software Centre does a similar job. Each Linux distribution should provide documentation to help you get started. I've included a couple of links below if you use Linux Mint or Ubuntu. Linux Mint documentation can be found here - http://www.linuxmint.com/documentation.php Ubuntu documentation can be found here - https://help.ubuntu.com/ Regards, Chris
