Pleas pm me with yor reply!

I've been using linux for seven months now, and while I tried several distros PClinuxOS2007 is by far my favorite. As a Windows Reffugee, Pclos seems familiar but is by far supperior however, some of the programs that I'd like to try are not rpms. Instead they are tarballs and many of the tutorials on compiling tarballs that I have found are either vauge or ineffective on my system for some reason. Has anyone found an indepth tutorial on this subject? Or would any one be willing to write one?

Remember I'm a linux noob sweatdrop and right now I have very limited internet access stressed . Pleas pm me with yor reply!

You Should Look At vendion's post vendion's linux programs or go directly to the website where you can download his Easy Source Installer

Due to differences between openSUSE's RPMs and everyone elses RPMs you may need to use Alien to convert it.

o.O but still probably a hell of a lot easier that just TARBALLS

pbone.net is a very good site for rpms, I've been using those for a while and they work. I'm giving ESI a go tonight (the current version seems to be mia so I'm trying the older ones) but I'm also getting Alien to work also(had a few depenensies to download) but I'm hopefull. Thank you all for putting up with my internet issues, going out of state sucks for the whole "staying in the loop" thing.

BTW isn't PClinuxOS 2008.0 out? I know their TinyMe port is already at 2008.0, no real need to upgrade yet assuming that they have support for older releases as well.

If you want a site that is good for RPMs http://rpmfind.net/ not only does it find the RPM you are looking for but it also tells you what distro the RPM was packaged for.
