I just installed Linux (debian distro) about 4 days ago. I don't really have a
use for Linux, but I wanted to learn to use a diffrent operating system other than Windows fluently just for the experience. I don't want to be dependant on a GUI either, so I'm trying to lean everything I can about using Linux with only the command line.
My problem is: I've learned how to access a CD-rom drive, manipulate the files (I moved firefox tarball to a folder and extracted it) but my problem is actually executing the file. Do I have to install it in that special bin directory? I have it installed in /home/mike/Programs/. Is this not correct? When I try to $ exec firefox it doesn't work...
