I downloaded "seamonkey", but what file must i Open/Unpack to install the browser.
Windows alsways has the "setup-Files" to install a programm, what about linux?
I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.

well, in Suse the file extension is .rpg for packages[a package in Linux is usually called an "Application" in Windows] Many Linux packages come as source files.
