Software Installation
« on: July 22, 2004, 02:04:06 AM »
Hi, there.
Since I am really new in Linux, maybe this question seems silly. However, I really need somebody to help me.
Can somebody tell me how to install programs under linux. It has been really confused to change from windows to linux. How can a 'txt' file be executable? How can I handle those 'tar', 'jar', 'gz' files?
Maybe we should setup an special section for those new ones like me.
many thanks. :(
