Hi, my name is Bryan and I am a newcomer to linux. In
fact, I just got linux yesterday. I tried to read
through some websites and lear about linux, but most
of the lingo are a bit advance for me. Right now, I'm
just trying to use linux like a regular personal
computer, I've downloaded aim and winamp, and
successfully install both programs. (there are
instructions on the aim site about installing rpm, so
I just copied it for winamp) However, I am not able to
run winamp, when I open up the command line, and type
in winamp, a window shows up and says "the winamp
software has already been installed" but the program
doesn't show up. What should I go? Also, from my
reading and I understood that gz means the file is
zipped, so I would need to unzip it before I can
install the file, correct? (I'm also trying to a p2p
software) but the file type is of .tar? How would I
deal with that kind of things? Lastly, if somoene can
give me some tips on how they got familiar with it
when they first started using linux, I would very much
appreciate it. Sorry for such a long email, thank you.
Bryan
