Hello GNU: I just putting out the feelers on the GNU Free Software. I was looking at gnu.org, and gnome.org(for some free PC Network Diagram software), and was wondering about installing these on Microsoft Windows 2000 PC(s). I looked for information about viruses on GNU/Linux systems and protection against malicious coders.
How does GNU protect against viruses, malicious programming contributors, intrusions, etc.? How much effort would it take to install something like the GNU/Linux or the Dia GTK+ (Visio alternative) software for computer network diagram purposes? I'm not interested in auto-discovery. It would be nice to have a simple, free program, for this, as opposed to paying $150 for a program that we won't use that often. (I'm perusing the Dia gnome pages, and it sounds Greek to me, concerning integrating into a Windows PC.) You have tons and tons of information, but if you could provide some simple, brief introductions to GNU/Linux, Dia, and their simple practicability to the currently existing Microsoft Windows environment, that would be helpful :-) I volunteer at a church that has, approximately, 40 networked PC's, running Ms Windows 2000 (a couple with XP), and a Dell Windows 2000 server. Thank you for your time, Michael Dertinger ___________________________________________________________________ Speed up your surfing with Juno SpeedBand. Now includes pop-up blocker!
