Which Linux download (RBM, DEB or TAR GZ)?

[REDACTED]

Hi
Which Linux version do I need for an Acer Netbook (120GB, intel Atom N270 processor).  There are three download versions but I cannot see any indication of which I need.

PS. What do RBM, DEB and TAR GZ stand for?

Hallo,
in general, you need those x86 packages, at least the libavastengine and avast4server OR avast4workstation in the case that you love GUI-based apps.

TGZ is a gzipped tar archive, with install script inside, should work on all x86 Linuxes, and doesn't pollute the packaging mechanisnm of a partocular distro at all.

DEB is a debian/ubuntu package, RPM is a redhat/fedora/mandrake package.

So it's up to you which one to choose...

If you use the .deb (if you have Ubuntu or Debian) it works like a .exe installer in Windows.

with small difference - nothing (excluding interpreted pre/post install/remove scripts) is executed.
in the fact, windows lack this kind of functionality for ages .
