Those are Windows programs and as far as I know there are no Linux
versions.  Linux does (from what I've read) have ways to address these
issues, but I'm only in the thinking-about-Linux stage right now.

                                                                      

On 5/2/2003 at 12:39 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as
yyixi001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx was rumoured to have uttered....

          |  Thank you it's a P3 with a 500 cpu and 350+ megs
          |  ram, and a few
          |  background programs doing different things that it's nice to
          |  have going.
          |  It runs at a decent speed now on Win98, but I wouldn't want it
          |  to run
          |  too much slower, no more than say 10% slower if that, which is
          |  why I was
          |  wondering about the amount of slowing down with a switch to
XP.
          |  
          |  I see an ebay offer for Linux Mandrake 9 for $20, but when I
          |  asked them
          |  if it would run with AdSubtract banner blocker, TextAssist 4,
          |  MailWasher, and a few other things, they never even bothered
          |  to reply.
