install a program
dbl221:
I installed LimeWire for Linux 1.7 the other day. You will need to install the Java virtual machine for Linux...get it from www.sun.com
The sun documentation was very good, just take the time to read it carefully.
Then go to www.limewire.com and read the userguide.
Read everything.
If you are behind a firewall open a port or run nmap to find out what is open.
Remember...install the java virtual machine first.
Good Luck and let us know how you make out.

I'd suggest taking a look at www.linuxdoc.org. Its the Linux Documentation Project and you can find a lot of great How-tos for Linux. Its filled with great info for a beginner and a sysadmin.

I will let you know how i make out
Master of Reality:
when i install soemthing from the source (ie. webim.tar.gz) and have it succesfully installed, how do i take out the installed program????
voidmain:
File by file. That's why you should use RPMs if you have an RPM based system, or *.deb if you are using Debian, or *.pkg.tgz if using Solaris, or....
Before package management you either just didn't remove software, or you had to figure out what files were associated with what program and remove them one by one. Packages/RPMs make install/remove very easy. If you are installing webmin on your RedHat system download the RPM rather than the tar.gz file.
