For apt-get or synaptic to work, you need "sources", i.e. URL's, listed
in /etc/apt/sources.list.
This is where you can set the range of your updates to stable, testing,
or unstable.
What is listed in your Lindows?

re StarOffice: did you have to run through the usual SO setup after you
downloaded it?  I am not aware of any Deb package of SO.  I remember
that Caldera 2.2/2.3 included SO 5 in RPM, but you still had to go
through the setup rigamarole.
