How Linux is packaged?
I assume you are talking about packages in Linux which can be packaged in many different ways. Just for clarification the packages we are talking about here are like .exe files in windows they are packages that install programs. You cannot use .exe in Linux because these files are made for Windows system. Linux distributions have something called a package manager which handles all of the packages (or programs) installed. All Debian based distros (Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian,) use .deb files for programs. All Red Hat based distros (Opensuse, Red Hat, Fedora) use .rpm files for programs. All linux distros have one thing in common. You do not need to use firefox to download programs you can use Software Manager/Synaptic/Software Center to install programs on your system. This works because the system uses repositories. These are websites where all of the programs come from. You should search these repositories you might find the program you are looking for. Also if you do not know what Linux distribution to try I would try Linux Mint. It is very user friendly

The Eee PC should have come with a CD to reinstall Linux. If you do not have this disc, then the only way you could install the version of Linux that was on the Eee (Xandros) would be if you had an image of the hard drive before you formatted it. Note that there are other Linux distros customized for the Eee PC that are available free of charge if you want to try another Linux distro.
How can you Install Linux in my Windows 7 platform?
Most Linux distros will by default install themselves secondary to Windows, BUT you MUST FIRST make a separate partition on your HD for Linux to install on, for the install erases everything that is already on that partition. How to do that is found in your Windows Help. If that's a problem for you, many Linux distros can be run from a CD or DVD, without installation to the HD, so you can try them out to get the feel of them. Knoppix is one such distro. If you want something as like to Windows as possible, try Lubuntu or its parent Ubuntu. But be aware that Linux is NOT a free windows. If you are a command line junkie like myself, I recommend Slackware. If you are into designing and building your own OS based on the Linux kernel, try Arch. In short, the various Linux distros (or flavors) are all different to one another, each having their own design philosophy. Deciding which one you want will be your major problem. Google 'linux reviews'.
