I've been using my Linux kit on the PS2 and am liking the opn and useful nature of linux so much that I've gone and downoaded the Fedora 64bit linu operating system for my PC.
Anyone got any useful utilities and programs I should be installing on the thing. Virus checkers, firewalls, media players and the like would be welcome :-).

The 2.6 kernel supports NTFS. The only problem is that NTFS write support in Linux is ropey as all hell, and you do not want to risk trashing your Windows partitions by writing to them in Linux.

It's mainly just so I can play my MP3 library whilst I'm working in linux. Looks like I might just have to sopy it over on a DVD as I can't get the NTFS partition to mount at all.
Oh, and does anyone know how to uninstall software in linus, I've tried using make uninstall after I installed using make install, but it says the Makefile has no directive for uninstall, does that mean I'm just stuck with it unless I manually remove all the files make install created?
