I am thinking of buying a netbook running on Linpus Linux Lite, but am not sure - apart from what comes with the netbook - what applications are available for Linpus. And how easy would they be to install?

Linpus Linux should be like most other distributions in that a software package manager is used with software repositories sources. Look for a program menu item with that in mind, and when you first use it, some setup is needed, then the programs are listed in catagories, then search for what you want and the updates too for your Linpus system. Most common and popular programs which are used in Windows do have available open source free version for Linux, and you could also install the popular Ubuntu in place or as a dual boot system.
