Very Computer

Hello I'm still rather new to Linux and was hoping someone could lend
a hand at how to install new apps. I downloadthem fine as well as un
tarring and gunzipping them but then I am lost. If you could spare the
time email me please.

Thank you very much
Ken

 After you do what you did, you generally have to 'make' the
installation...compiling the .c source files into a binary.
You need some books on UNIX. There's also a relevant doc you
might try in the  http://www.redhat.com   site, they have an
area called RedHat Tips, of which one is called 'Compiling
Software Tips' ..
   Also, THE single most important thing to do once you
gunzip/detar an app, is to READ the provide Documentation
that is given...the README's, the text files called
'INSTALL', README.1st,  README.linux, etc..etc....
