Correct. An .i386.rpm is optimised for 80386.
which means my only alternative for a good install for the pentium
A RPM that was created for i386 will work just fine for ix86. I
wouldn't even worry about it. It will do the trick and work just fine.
I highly doubt you'd even notice the difference.
But if you're hell bent on installing and configuring more up to date
software then you can go the tarball

well if you want a program to appear under KDE you can create a shortcut on
the desktop by left clicking. Most programs are install in the /usr/bin and

Hey Anthony...THANKS for that description! I've spent my first 2 weeks as a Newbie
searching through HOWTOs, bookstores, newsstands and internet, just trying to get
some sort of "this is the basic overview" for the silly .tar files. Your summary is
a great help!

Installing programs was one of my biggest complaints/problems when I was still a
linux newbie. I can help you on some of the stuff though. First, get the binary
whenever possible. It will save you a ton of headaches. A binary acts more like
a Windows .exe file. Binary's are usually suffixed with
I would like to add to what Anthony says. I agree that for man an application,
downloading the binary is ideal, but in many cases the person who has written the
program might not have written it for your version of the OS. There getting the
source has several advantages, the biggest being that

There shouldn't be any problem at all
