I am looking for information on the Internet about using redhat linux 7 (old system). However, I fail to find the one thing that I really really need information on, downloading and installing files. I dont know if I am not using the correct "word" while searching but I can't find any useful information on how to do this. I mean the first thing I want to do after my install is download programs such as firefox. So I download it and I am like now what? I notice it is a .tar.gz file so I look for that and figure out how to ungz it (if that is what it is called?). Now what? It created a folder named firefox with various other folders in it but I dont see how to open firefox. I am guessing that I need to do something else but now I am stuck. Maybe it is just me but when we work on our computers I think that most of us are downloading apps and installing them on our machine to use them yet I find it very annoying that no linux site I have visited covers this very basic thing. Well, back to looking for more sites to see if I can figure out what to do next.
Thanks,
