Thank you so much for clearing up the problem I was having installing the 
software. The documentation said that there was a GUI native to the base 
system. I continued to work on the problem from that angle. 

On to the real task at hand. Again thanks for the help.

I have installed the Nessus 3. scanner on a laptop using both of these
distributions. The install is okay and I get as far as
executing /opt/nessus/sbin/nessusd -D but thats all that happens. The GUI
never starts up.


nessusd is the Nessus server daemon; the "-D" argument tells it to run
in the background. It should, though, at least print out a copyright
notice and a progress message as it loads the plugins. Is it running and
listening for connections on port 1241?  If not, check the
nessusd.messages log for errors.

The GUI is a separate program; with Nessus 3.x it's NessusClient. In
general, NessusClient must be built from source; see
<http://www.nessus.org/download/> for the download.
