Question HELP-Installing and Accessing Programs


I am using Mandrake 10.0 and I am trying to get used to the tricky install process. For example I installed GAIM.rpm and it did the whole setup and did it fine but when the install was over I couldn't find or open the GAIM program. Same with Firefox I am just having trouble locating and opening the apps. If anyone has any information or tips on installing apps on linux let me know. Thanks again.
