How do I install programs?
Hi, I'm a total Linux newbie (obviously).
How do I install programs when I only have the source code? I run Mandrake.
How do I see which programs are running? and how do I switch to them?

jobs
For example:
[localhost]$ jobs
[1]- Stopped man vim
[2]+ Stopped vim
To bring a task back into the foreground type:
fg
...followed by the JOB_SPEC number, e.g. type:
fg 1
...to get man back in the foreground.
You can get the process ID as well if you type:
jobs -l
...for example:
[localhost]$ jobs -l
[1]- 3795 Stopped man vim
[2]+ 3810 Stopped vim
