Not a dumb question at all -- Especially if you've never used a UNIX type of OS. As to what they mean by drag and go; I assume that one means dragging a bookmark or URL tag to the address bar, dropping it and having the browser go to it or search for it without any further user interaction. If I'm wrong I'm sure somone will correct me. [?]
As for wget; *Description: retrieves files from the web* Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the Web using http(s) and ftp, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, so it will work in the background, after having logged off. The program supports recursive retrieval of web-authoring pages as well as ftp sites -- you can use wget to make mirrors of archives and home pages or to travel the Web like a WWW robot.
