LinuxQuestions.org - Installing apache 2.0.59 on centos server

Ok Im learning how to use linux as im going to get a dedicated server soon I hope. So I was figuring id learn basic commands

So how do you use the apt-get commnad.

Would i just type this in on command prompt

Code:

apt-get http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/apache/httpd/httpd-2.0.59.tar.gz

then do the following

Code:

tar -xzvf /comipiled/httpd-2.0.59.tar.gz

cd /comipiled/httpd-2.0.59/

./configure

make

su

make install

Also in apt-get, i want to download to /compiled/, so is there a special command to dl to /compiled/ and how do you create /compiled/.

Also on tar -xzvf does it create the dir /httpd-2.0.59/ by itself or is there a command for that too.
