Hi,

If you just want website passwords remembered, then I find that Firefox does a pretty good job of remembering all of my website passwords on it's own. I haven't actually looked for an alternative password manager, as I use Ubuntu which comes with the Gnome Keyring Manager.

I hope this helps...

I agree with ScoobyDan....

The Keyring will store all system passwords & Firefox will remember website passwords.

No other software is required.

By the way what Linux are you running??

If you're using KDE on Linux, then KDE Wallet Manager is available.

keepassX - is in the UBUNTU repos. (Add/remove software).

The SAME database can be read in the windows & linux versions of the software.

keepassX - Linux / cross platform version

keepass - Microsoft windows version

The version of Linux on the Acer is Linpus:

It's based on Fedora, so you should easily get KeepassX to run on it.

I think you need to look for KeepassX. Keepass was designed for Windows, though it has been ported to a few Linux distros.

I think Linpus is based on Fedora 9, so you may find that installing it out of the Fedora repositories may work.

Then again it may not! A lot depends on whether Linpus has all of the necessary libraries installed and at the right version.

One thing you can try is to open a terminal window and type "yum install keepassx". It will only work if keepassx is in whatever repositories Linpus uses.

A different approach might be to use the Advanced Mode hack described here:

That gives you access to many more programs - but don't blame me if something breaks as a result!
