Well, I'd say you're a recent refuge from the Windows world, who expects 
things to be the way they were there.  I don't use Lindows, so I can't 
help you with the hardware issues, but with the KDE desktop, it's quite 
easy to add program icons.  Just right click on the desktop and select 
Create New > Link to Application.  As for importing data, do you mean 
just getting it to where Linux can see it?  Or what applications can be 
used?
