Why don’t you double click instead of opening terminal and typing funny commands.
Common dude, Linux is for Human Beings.

You know how a human being would interact by an OS…by saying(typing) what it wants…instead of pointing to funny things like a monkey..smartypants
If double clicking is easier,I do not see why one should avoid from it. Let’s face it. From the perspective of an average user, using a command line just to download an otherwise easily-downloadable program does not make any sense and would indeed look “funny.” Of course, from the perspective of geeks like us who just love the way linux functions, using command lines which interacts directly with OS may sound more sensible; however, you have to understand that there are also people who do not see the beauty of CL and prefer other solutions.
Linux Install MP3 player please tell me the necessary rpm .
I am waiting till google will create Linux repository for google-chrome.
Linux version of chrome lacks build in update mechanism, which you can find in M$ version. Probably we have to wait for it till next release.
How different is chrome from chromium?
Google chrome has become my fav browser in linux, firefox was always eating memory, Google must update google chrome for linux frequently :(
Techs Palace,

Thanks….
Thanks!!! But I have one problem I don’t have google chrome’s icon under Application > Internet
when the commands r given, it asks for password… but iam not able to type it..when i type the password, nothing is getting printed on the screen..
when i press enter it says -try again…
[sudo]user_password
this appears on the screen and after that u cant type anything!!
Do you know what your password is? If you can just recall the password that you set for the account you used to login, use that

Hello everybody, i wanna ask one question – Im on Debian x64 and i wanna install Chrome on it but when i run the terminal type the command ok but when i type the passwork it says:
papasd is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
Please, tell me how to fix this problem cuz i really want Google Chrome!
Definitely i install via software manager rather than commands!
when i run command rpm -ivh google-chrome-stable_current_i386.rpm it gives an error as: lsb >= 4.0 is needed by google-chrome-stable-13.0.782.220-99552.i386
