Ok. It's been five days since the first installment of andLinux beta 1 exploration started. Hopefully you've spent all your spare time downloading andLinux beta 1, installing it and becoming a Linux expert by now. Not! No problem. Since you seem to move at my pace we'll continue this ride together.

 

First things first.  Go to the andLinux beta 1 installation HowTo, follow the instructions there, and then hop back over the fence and continue here.

First we need to open the console - named in this case, Konsole.

 

One of the things I like about using Linux is the ease of installing many programs (or packages they are called by those in the know ). Unlike windows you don't have to browse to a website everytime you need to install a program. Watch how easily we can install NMAP on andLinux beta 1.
  1. Type "apt-cache search ^nmap$" and press the Enter key, to check to see if the package/program is available in the repository (a virtual storage place for linux applications, library's, and such). **Note - if the symbols in front and back of the word "nmap" don't make sense to you, check out the regular expression HowTo.
     
  2. Since we see the package is available Type "apt-get install nmap" and press the Enter key to install the package.
  3. That's it! Now when was it ever this easy in Windows? Just to satisfy your curiosity type "nmap|more" and press the Enter key. You'll see some of the options available to NMAP. We'll be exploring those options in the upcoming NMAP HowTo.
