Okay, Im totally new to the Linux world! I have to say, by far this is the best OS ive ever seen! But being a longtime windows user, Im having probs installing a flash plugin for mozzilla. I downloaded it, unziped it, and found I cant run a script under a GUI. I tried running it under a terminal by typing the scritp name, but it just says "command not found!" Is there another command i need to use to execute the script im unaware of? How do I do this? PLease help!

The command Linux couldn't find is the name of the script you typed in - it's not looking for some other additional command besides what you typed. You may be thinking (like I did when I was a newbie) that the Linux command line works like the Windows command line where you just type the name of the program or script that's in your current directory to run it. That's not so with Linux and UNIX. You have explicitly state that your script is in the same directory you are current in, so type: ./flashplayer-installer instead of just flashplayer-installer The dot represents the current directory and make sure you're typing the "forwardslash": /, not the backslash: \ like you are used of using in Windows. Also the script may have to be made executable so learn about file permissions and what 'ls -l' shows you if you don't know already then run: chmod u+x flashplayer-installer if necessary then try running the script again. But really you don't have to run that script to install Flash, just follow the directions here. Good luck.
