Installing software on a linux server
-
Hello guys. I have tried all the help I can can get on instaling software on a linux server. I now understand the commands and everythng, but my problem is where to get the command prompt window. Everyone keeps telling me to get to the console window, but I know that in office I click on start menu, then run then cmd....How do I get that in Linux. I need a dummy guide on how to do this guys. Thank you in advance.

It really depends on which interface you're using, e.g. GNOME, KDE. If it's GNOME, it's GNOME Main Menu => Programs => System => GNOME Terminal. If it's KDE, it's KDE Main Menu => System => Shell.

That's probably it then - you're into your terminal service.

If Pete's post didn't solve it for you, I have another way: You can almost always use CTRL-ALT-F1 (usually up to ...-F4) to switch from the graphical system to a text-based console.
