Installing applications
 

I've recently installed Fedora Core 1. Last night in fact. I've never used linux before, so I was wondering if anyone would mind telling me how to install programs/applications. I'm afraid windows has eaten away at my mind and dulled my logic.

Wow, that's a huge topic...
In Fedora, you can execute a rpm file and follow the screens - more or less - like in win. These installable files are called packages and have the extension .rpm.
You can compile from source too, but try rpm first.

Whats up abom!!! Here are some links for you - start reading man.

the second link is a bit more concise, start there.
