Hi,

What do you want to do that is the real question? If you tell me what you want to do I can recommend some software to get. Also, you can go to the add/remove programs and that can show you a lot of good software.

Cheers!

Well im hoping to make my laptop windows free,so i really need:

-A Universal media converter
-CD/DVD Burner
-FTP Client

And Some Decent Console emulators (Sega Genesis/megadrive,MAME,NES,SNES,GB,GBA?)

If could point me in the right direction that would be great

Hi,

A Universal media converter

Can you give me an example of one? I am not familiar with them.

CD/DVD Burner - I would recommend Brasero Disk Burner. If you don't have it installed already you can get it from typing: sudo apt-get install brasero.

FTP Client - I would recommend that you use FileZilla FTP client. You can get that from the add/remove programs. Choose "All available applications. Then do a search for ftp.

I don't really know any good console emulators. I would recommend doing a google search and see what comes up. If you need help installing any of them let me know.

Cheers!

Something Like THIS.

It says there it works with WINE But i want something that runs natively if possible...

If you are used to using a program such as the one that you linked to then I would stick with it. I think that it is great that they say that it works with WINE. If you don't want that, then do a google search and see what you come up with. I really don't know what program to tell you.
