Hello All. I've just installed system 7.2 yesterday. I'm completely new to
linux, and this is my first shot at it. As A long time windows user, I am
finding myself very confused by the way linux handles application storage. I
would like it if someone could explain a few things to me.
1) There appear to be nothing like an .exe file for linux software, where is
the program itself? For instance, if I go into the gimp directory, I see all
it's support files, but no executable. However, if I Alt-F2 and type in
"gimp", it runs just fine. Where is the program stored?
2) This is more specific.... I downloaded the latest Mozilla milestone, and
would like to try it under linux. However, I cannot figure out how to install
it. There appear to be no files that "run" when clicked on, even though i
downloaded the version "with installer". Help?
3) System clock. Every time I reboot, my clock gets all screwed up. I reset
it, and it's fine until I reboot again, but then it's off by a few hours.
Ideas?
Thanks alot in advance! I'm really liking KDE, but I need to know more about
how software and the file system works before I can be happy with it.
