That would be a binary. You have to read their instructions, then.
This brings up another question. Does Suse have some sort of security other than firewalls?
Yes...
I haven't seen any great importance on anti virus/spyware programs.
Because they are not needed :-P Yes, there are antivirus, but they are mostly used to detect windows viruses that get transmitted on email, in order to protect the windows machines served email by the linux one. Another use is to clean/protect samba shares: again, to protect the windows machines from themselves. In the DVD, there is "antivir" (Avira GmbH), closed source. There is another one, open source, "clamav". - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
