Does anyone have experience with?
I am new to Linux and I really like it, but is it the best way to start with Linux?
I don't get firefox 2 installed and it's a wee demotivating. I can't change into
-firefox-2.0.0.4-i686-1.tgz
Can anyone help me?

If you extract that archive (if you right-click, there should be an option for that), and go into the directory that is created, there should be a file 'firefox-bin', or similar. Then double-click that and it'll run.

You can extract it to your home directory by simply right-clicking and selecting Extract Here. Or if you like to use a command:
cd /home/username
tar xvf firefox-*

You can add it to your menu like this:
start alacarte or right-clikc "Applications"
select the subscection of your choice (probably "internet")
choose Add
Name the new item "firefox2" and use this command:
/home/username/firefox...(=name of the extracted folder)/firefox
save

For easy access, you can also add it to your taskbar - right-click on the taskbar, select add to panel & select add item from menu.

Thankyou allot, that was easy and well explained ( even for my blonde moments)
And guess what browser i use right now.
Thankyou.
