[Tfug] Newbie Follow-Up Question

[Craig Smith]

My last question concerned a cryptic error message I
was getting trying to use an "atp-get install
'anything'" command while trying to set up Debian. I
asked if anyone had any suggestions. Two people
suggested that I try Red Hat.

I don't want to start any flame wars here but I took
their advice and it works for me and I am up and
running. After I have a chance to take CIS 225 at
Pima, perhaps I will switch to Debian but for now Red
Hat works just fine for me.

I had a boxed set of Red Hat 7.2 and it came with
Mozilla 0.9something. I understand that the current
version is Red Hat 7.3 and Mozilla 1.0. How do I
upgrade to the current versions? I went to their sites
and download the tar.gz download files to my desktop
but I am not sure how to install them.

Red Hat, in my opinion, is simpler for a newbie like
me to handle but there is still a bit of a learning
curve to overcome.

I am just using Linux as a workstation at home but
will be using it as a server at work (FTP, DSN, Proxy,
etc) at work, once I get comfortable with it and can
ask intelligent questions.

You help and patience is greatly appreciated.
