Is there some additional software i should have,?

Why Freespire?

Chuck that and try Ubuntu instead. Far more support, more user-friendly, etc.

well it's like this fo3nix,
I know sod all about any of the Linux systems, so this looked as good as any other to me,
my mate has a ubuntu disc, i might take your advice on that,
Thanks.

I agree with Fo3, although freespire is based on ubuntu it is based on quite an old version, you will get much better hardware support with the latest version of ubuntu (9.04)

I'll give it a try,

It's well worth it.
