What software do i need?

Hi there,
I am looking for the best way to make an existing website capable of online sales. It already has products listed and i need software that i can integrate easily. I am new at this so i have two questions.
1. Can i use shopping cart software like Mal's eCommerce, or do i need to use something like oscommerce?
2. What is the best software to use? I would like free, open source, software that is user friendly and customizable to fit my website. I don't mind doing some basic programming but nothing to complicated. (I know html and css but not really any programming languages at this point if that helps.) Please tell me if i need to clarify and thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Michigan Man.
I think the big question may be how many items you want in your store. If it's not many, or if you want to sell downloads or electronic goods, then e-junkie may be the best fit -- and save you a lot of work.

Otherwise, define the catalog and items, then start looking around.
