 Hi guys last thursday i installed Redhat 9 so i am
slowly learning things from many places including your
wonderful IRC channel.

basic info: my computer has RH9 on /hdb hdb1 is /boot
hdb2 is / and hdb3 is swap win xp is on hda

Q1. I use folding at home on windos so i downloaded it
for
linux. to run it i need to go up a directory
/home/icco -> /home/icco/Downloads then run the
command ./FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe and then the terminal
shows the status of what it is doing. now my question:
how do i make something that i can either double click
or type in the command line and it will run right
away?

Q2. i want to have gaim run on startup how do i do
that?

Q3. I'm the only linux box on my network how do i
recognise the rest of the network?

Q4. i've got a lot of MP3's on my windos harddrive can
i run them on my linux box?

Q5. i use yahoopops to get yahoo mail from the web to
my mail program, only the source code is available on
the web, how do i install it? (or any other source
based program?)

Q6. I've seen alot of sites that offer info for linux.
besides the man pages is there another place i can
learn more about commands?

thanks alot i really appreciate your help :)
