Install gtk-gnutella 

You should have no problems. 

You may wish to select the "Unsupported softare" respository in sources
list in Xandros Networks. 

There are also *.deb files available for the latest release of
gtk-gnutella, but you need to upgrade to the latest version of
libc6.....and that requires following a short but simple procedure
documented in the Xandros support forums. 

Limewire have apparently succombed to the DRM legal threats.....while
gtk-gnutella remains an open and unrestricted gnutella P2P client.
