"repos" is short for repository. most distributions use them (gentoo really 
doesn't it just has the tree but the overlays are kinda repos).  A overly 
simplified windows analogy is, say download.com, windows update, and best 
buy. each one would be a place where you can get new software and/or updates 
and install it. The difference in linux is you don't have to browse the web, 
or go to the store. you can use tools like synaptic or apt-get to do 
everything for you. There is no click next next next reboot.

they don't? that sucks. I recommend learning man and since you are using kde 
look at the kde help center.

open your 'k menu' (like start menu) go to settings > control center. there 
should be a search tool type in spell. click on the spell checker settings in 
results. make sure these are what you want.

don't forget. when composing options > automatic spellchecking

I personally think whoever set up the spellchecker stuff should not have put 
settings in so many places for you to have to get it working as anticipated. 
it's an overly complex ui. did I miss any possible settings? I probably did, 
because like I said they are all over the place.

p.s. anne said that xandros has ispell installed by default.
