Which distribution are you using? Linux uses a different approach compared to windows for program installation. Instead of downloading a setup file from the internet (which may contain viruses, spyware,trojan,etc) you use the "Package Manager", which downloads the file from a safe location and installs it for you.
So, tells as your distro in order to give you detailed instructions about your package manager.

Welcome to the forums, dext924!
I've never tried Linpus but if that's what you are running and you haven't done so already, you might check their website for documentation and any FAQs that would give some details on adding software and additional features.
Maybe someone that is actually running Linpus will reply with some help in the interim.oz
