Try: apt-get install uudeview I *think* it's in the "Universe" repos, so you must enable those (Use Adept to do so.) After it's installed: man uudeview should show the manual.

Linux has a perfectly good antivirus suite in ClamAv, with a KDE front end called KlamAV. They're in the repositories. ClamAV is robust and effective, and is available also for Windows (ClamWin) and the Mac OS X (ClamXav), which means you can run it crossplatform, each having its own distinctive GUI. Furthermore, its free software and open source (I don't know if this applies also to AVG). Linux has very few viruses because the architecture of the OS confines them. Its only really necessary to have a strong antivirus program to stop Windows viruses flourishing if they're passed on in files. As for email, KMail and Claws-Mail work very effectively with it, and if you run the daemon it will also work with other programs "behind the scenes as it were. A much more serious problem for Linux users are rootkits. These programs are described by the Wikipedia thus: > A rootkit is a set of software tools intended to conceal running > processes, files or system data from the operating system.

I don't want to hijack the other one. I'd like to back up my kmail files and it seems that a simple copy would work. I'm having trouble, though, in that the directory structure and some of the files are copied, but some directories end up empty. This occurs whether I copy from a shell or using Konqueror, whether or not I have root permission, and regardless (seemingly) of the permissions assigned to the directories and files to be copied. Any ideas?
