Thanks Darwin, Carol.  ImgBurn proved sufficient for my present purpose.  I am saving this added info for possible future use.  This is a very helpful site:  Thank you all very much!

What's the Best? / Malware protection (a-v, firewall) for Linux Ubuntu

« on: May 11, 2007, 07:22 AM »

With Ubuntu installed and successfully humming on my backup machine, which has a cable connection via LinkSys router, I feel a need for anti-virus protection, etc.  I use Kaspersky on my main machine.  I had used the U. of Michigan's free McAfee on the old machine, but they no longer support or make available that program for what used to be a Win98 machine.  Are there any freeware or shareware programs available and suggested for use with Linux?
Thanks! -- and thanks again for the very helpful responses to my cd burning query.

Hello again, new friends.  Of the three programs suggested, ImgBurn achieved the task best, successfully burning the Ubuntu .iso file for installation.
Now, with Ubuntu installed and successfully humming on that old machine, I need anti-virus protection.  I use Kaspersky on my main machine.  I had used the U. of Michigan's free McAfee on the old machine, but they no longer support or make available that program for what used to be a Win98 machine.  Are there any freeware or shareware programs available and suggested for use with Linux?
Again, Thanks!

Thanks for three good suggestions.  I will try each and report back if I come up with anything possibly useful to others.

What's the Best? / cd burning

I wish to install Linux Ubuntu on my backup machine, which does not have a burn drive.  My main machine does have a write drive, but Roxio Easy CD Creator does not seem to wish to burn the downloaded file/program.  Is there some other tool that is more appropriate for this task? 
Dell 8250, Win XP Pro, Pentium 4 2.8 GBh, 1 Gig RAM.
Thank you.
