So basicly I wanted to try out something other than Winblows for a change. So I ended up getting and installing Suse Linux 10.0. Seems preaty good and all that. I can do basic things with it. But question is how do I install/remove programs. Theres a bunch of programs that I won't use anymore and some programs that I want to install (Like GAIM). I'm getting irritated trying to figure out those damn readme's how to install. [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_wacko.png[/img]

Any help on how to do these basic things would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

 

you should have a tool in SuSE called: "YAST", that does everything for you.

Yeah... been snooping through there. Think I figured it out finally. Never realized the program "search" feature that has everything set. Thanks.
