It's not much, and I probably won't use it very often, but I *am* taking a unix certification course (for the knowledge not the actual cert that makes me worth 100K/a), so I needs it.
So I installed Fedora. Don't balk; it installed and that's better than gentoo could have done.
But I've never installed a program on linux before. I *know* it comes in .c files, and I have to compile it. But how do I do this, and how do I run the compiled 'executable'?
;D?

) with out any software packages then begin the install process, practicing on your way. First, installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP are all fairly easy, and have a ton of documentation online to help you along. Then you have a sweet little webserver for the elle of it.


Maybe you'll have more knowledge about linux by this time so you'd finally be able to install it successfully if you were getting unusual problems before
