Can I directly install Itunes on Linux Mint 8?

Q. I am going to be installing Linux Mint 8 and remove Vista, Can I install Itunes on Linux Mint 8?
( Directly download apps, Buy stuff, ETC.. ) Will be using a Ipod Touch 3G 8GB.

A. iTunes is not native to Linux therefore does not work well using a windows compatability layer such as WINE

Take a look at these open source options

Rhythmbox
http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/

gtkpod (good for syncing)

Whats the terminal command for linux mint 4 to access lost and found?
Q. I have linux mint 4. I need to wipe my computer off of junk and reinstall. I also want to upgrade my hardrive and reinstall linux mint 7, and the latest ubuntu. I want to get the junk off manually, search and destroy, and then uninstall. I need that harddrive for my other computer, can you help me out? Linunx mint is the way to go by the way.

A. If you are looking to delete and format the Drive with Linux Mint 4.0 on it I recommend you use Gnome Partition Editor (GParted). For this operation you can run off any Ubuntu or Mint LiveCD as Gnome Partition Editor is included

where does mint save your downloaded files?
Q. I am very new to linux mint. I downloaded a couple of files and I can execute them but i cant find them in the hard drive. Anyone know where it saves applications?
I downloaded code blocks on mint. I ran the executible and it got the files. i can run the application but cannot find the files. Any clue where they are?

A. Are you referring to the Synaptic Package Manager? Everything is downloaded into /var/cache/apt or /var/cache/apt/archives

If it is from Firefox or Chrome/Chromium, by default it will be in you download folder ~/Downolads (Note: the Tilde means /home/user or is your [the active users] home folder)
