Vince,
Thanks for the suggestion. This is a topic more for the regional Chapters
of the GNHLUG to cover on a more intimate basis where we get down to basics
and have even more technical meetings.
I know of many that could discuss this with you tonight at the GNHLUG
meeting one on one, or give you guidance on places to go to answer many of
your questions.
If you don't know where or when the Chapter meetings are, please let me kow.
Jerry Kubeck
Chairman, GNHLUG

> I am fairly new to the Linux User Group (although I do have network
>experience with Novell, Windows, & Mac). I am very interested in hearing your
>thoughts, opinions, philosophies on Installing, removing, managing, and
>running Applications on the Linux platform.
>
> I am currently working on understanding the RPM. I have 4 different
>applications I downloaded from the net but am not sure how to get them up and
>running. In DOS or Windows you have Install or Setup.exe (or bat). In Novell
>you load NLMs. I guess my questions are these:
>
> 1. What are the different ways to install (and uninstall) Linux programs?
>And what do you prefer, recommend? Especially for Newbies.
>
> 2. Once installed (say with RPM) how do you know where the program
>installed itself? Also is there a preferred place to install Apps on a Linux
>box?
>
> 3. Is there a common way to run Linux apps (like an exe file on DOS/Win )?
>
>This is a fairly important topic to me. After all without Applications a
>computer is just a very expensive paper weight. Maybe it would be possible to
>dedicate a night or some time at one of the gnhlug meetings for this topic. I
>know it might bore some of the seasoned linux folks but it could really help
>out some of the newer users.

>Regards!
