    I just purchased a Mini 9 for my kids. It has Mini OS powered by Ubuntu 8.04.1..Does this OS have an anti virus program included? I have norton 360 on disk but since there is no cd drive I cant load it. I tried copying the disk to a flash drive but I cannot get it to run. Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    You definitely don't want to use Norton even on a Windows based computer.
