Hi, I was a windows user. I just recently switched to fedora core 3. the learning part for switching to linux is very exciting. but i find one thing confusing. in fedora, when i want to install an application (rpm format), i have to install it from the shell using rpm command. is there an existing application in fedora which will allow me to install the rpm packages from the gui?
open a terminal in GUI and type #redhat-package-manager/config* it will show what all package are installed ...and what all package u want to install
also when i install applications in
windows, it gets added to program files folder by default. in linux in which folder do the application files go. why dont the applications installed appear in the start menu? it becomes very difficult to know what applications are installed.
if you have installed any package ... on cammand prompt type ... rpm -qa <package name>

please excuse me if i posted something wrong as i am quite naive in using linux right now. Regards, Kevin
