I have several questions:
- how do I make XChat work? it won't connect to any server...
- same for AMSN... (it seems that my network card config is screwed, but HTTP works :blink:)
- how to use WinE?
- is there something like AdAware for linux or is AA WinE-compatible?
- the system is working slower than ever (ie. nautilus takes 10 minutes to open!!! and it took WAY less some ti'me ago)... any ideas y?
by the way: +rep for all ppl that help me

by the way2: this is red hat linux v7.2...

seeing as linux is an open source program theres really not any need for ad-aware you can go and look in and see.... also ad/spyware usually works in secrecy and theres no secrecy in open source....so its pointless....you cant trick linux users....
If you are looking for an ad blocker, look for privoxy at (http://www.privoxy.org/)
all the other stuff I cant help with sorry:(

Nope, I don't need a popup blocker... I use mozilla firefox

But the other s*** still doesn't work

I'm not sure why the other stuff wont work. (I'm a linux n00b aswell) But I know how to use WinE

How to use and install WinE:
1. dl it from http://www.winehq.com
2. open up the terminal while logged in as root
3. type in rpm -iv [directory/ies][wine rpm file] example:

rpm -iv /home/sloth/download/wine/wine.rpm

4. to open a program use the following syntax in the terminal

wine /programdir/program.exe

That should do it
