Depends on what you want to do. General rule of thumb you might want to follow while trying to configure anything - - RTFM - Read the package documentation - Google but dont feel so lucky - Check for any HOWTO's available (http://www.tldp.org) - Check the list of files installed with the package, check if any sample config files have been provided. Most of these are well commented. (rpm -ql or whatever) - Put out a post on LIH or any similar mailing list, not being haunted by a flamewar ATM. If you get any errors you cant figure out - - Check documentation, FAQ's - Google for the errors - Post on LIH or any similar mailing list.
