First let me start by saying excuse me for being so ignorant when it comes
to what I have to say.
I have installed Linux with no problems and it looks great, and yes I have a
lot to learn. BUT! Now that I have Linux as my only OS how do I Install
programs??? I have a CD with all kinds of great stuff that I would like to
load on to my new OS and don't know how to do it. I went to the bookstore
and looked at many books on how to install programs and there is nothing on
the subject at all. There is a lot on how to load Linux on to a computer,
but nothing on how to load a program once you have Linux on your pc.

Is it that hard? I have posted many times with no replies except for emails
that go something like this " Yea I want to know how to do that to but was
afraid to ask" " and when you find out please email me and let me know"
Is it really that hard? or is it that easy?
Please if you can help, please post the answers so more then just me can
know.

Thank you so much
