hello, am so new to linux OS, but actually i feel that its so difficult to deal with it, i download packages, and when i run them , another packages is needed, i cann't do any thing with Os only displaying web browser, so is there any solution for such a problem?is it normal? or just because iam a beginner?

That's pretty normal although I suspect you just picked a distro that is way too difficult for a beginner. If you use something like Ubuntu, you simply choose software packages from a list and then the systems automatically installs any other packages that may be needed. Way easier than installing everything manually.

often this sort of thing is not realising that there are existing methods on your system to deal with this. people will download source and try to compile it without realising that there are prebuilt packages like rpm's already existing for it. and further from there not know that there are rpm and other package management systems like apt-get and yum which will automatically download and install a givne package and all it's requirements without any manual interaction. if you'd listed what your distro is, we could help you further. if by chance you're using fedora, just check out the "yum install packagenamehere" command for utterly painless software installation (even compared to windows) and on ubuntu try "apt-get install packagenamehere", and mandriva try "urpmi packagenamehere"

Its perfectly normal when you first shift from windows to linux. Let us know what distribution are you using, perhaps we can guide you in better fashion.

am using redhat 9

OK, in that case I recommend getting a different distro. Redhat 9 is a dinosaur by now. You just won't find much software that will run on something that old. If you like the Redhat type of distro, you should consider Fedora 7 (or CentOS). CentOS is a free version of the current RedHat while Fedora is more progressive as it is a testbed for the next release of RedHat.

is there any link where i can download fedora?

Right here on LQ: http://iso.linuxquestions.org/version.php?version=449

And don't forget to search google for a good install guide. Fedora comes without much support for multimedia because of potential copyright/patent infringement claims; you need to add it yourself but that is really easy.

If you plan on staying on LQ, you should change your profile to inform people what distro you have, they will give you better solutions.
Not everybody is as good as acid_kewpie to guess which one you are using
All distros have a big common part but some little things are better when they are done in the philosphy of the distribution.

I recently switched to Fedora from Ubuntu and i have found a few sources of information key.

First would be Fedora solved

Has good howto's for getting basic stuff like flash and codecs installed.

However for a person new to Linux, you will be better off with Ubuntu since there is a load more documentation online and many many many howtows for all the basic stuff. Fedora defiantly has a lot of positives over Ubuntu but as far as new users go i don't think it should be a first choice.

You can download Ubuntu 7.04 here

Also a good starter guide is Ubuntu Guide

Also, both communities have grate irc channels but I find Ubuntu's forums to have more howto's and what not.

Both are great distros it just depends on how much you know and how much you want to learn.

ok, i see all of you prefer me ti install fedora instead of redhat, thats mean that no choices to get access in redhat?

as far as you shoudl care, redhat *IS* fedora, but with a differnt older name. that's not technically true, but for now just assume it is.

And yet another bloody Ubuntu evangelist tries to hijack a thread!
