If you are a Windows or Macintosh user, you probably are thinking: “I can install new programs. What’s the big deal? I just stick in a disk or a CD- ROM and type INSTALL, right?” No. In UNIX, it’s not that simple, of course. You face issues of paths, permissions, and other technical-type stuff we have been protecting you from.On the other hand, we’re not about to train you to be a system programmer.
