I was just wondering if there was a good p2p program for linux. I've heard of a few different ones, but in your guy's opinion what is the best program for downloading stuff?

BitTorrent.

I installed limewire last night in kde.
it's not super fast, but downloads were good. not slow at all.

That is personal opinion to which is best. There is Bittorrents, Limewire, eDonkey, and a couple others.

My observations:

If the d/l is popular, then BT is a lot faster (think >100 kbps). If the d/l is obscure, you might not get it at all on BT.

Do you have to download BT? Or does it come on KDE?

You gotta download a client.

Ok, this is going to sound horrible but....

Do you know of any sites (since I don't want to make you type it all up) that can help teach me how to install different file types (.rpm, .tgz) on Linux? Because frankly, i have no freaking idea how to install anything...

Oh, and I'm not sure if it's normal, but I get no sound at all while running linux on my Xbox. Is that normal? Or how would I fix that??

do you mean if you try running a media file there is no sound? or do you mean for clicking and stuff ?

I would like to know about installing stuff to, but personally i just fiddle with it until i get it.

limewire was a .bin file. when i would put the mouse over it or what ever it said it was a script file

i just right-clicked it and said run in terminal or somthing.

For *.tar.gz and *.tgz, do this:

Code: Select all

tar -zxvf myfile.tar.gz

, obviously replacing myfile.tar.gz with the real file name. Then read the README file included in the tarball. The gist of it should be: ./configure, then make.

What about RPM files?

I want to put Amule on my box, and i think that it is an RMP file

Plus i've seen somthing about VMwear on Linux, i used it on the PC under windows to test different operating systems(shame i never tried Linux

). Can i use VMwear to run Emule under a win enviroment in Linux?

RPMs are files for the Redhat Package Manager. I think RPMs are actually a type of tarball. Treat it the same way.
