Thanks for the info Brett.

And BTW I am a newbie to Linux and I have been RTFM almost constantly and
I'm getting F*&king tired of RTFM so if I can get a little information
without RTFM, I certainly will.

So, If anyone out there can tell me how to install a "tar.gz" file so that I
don't have to RTFM I would appreciate it!

Thanks.
