Hi all,

Finally got the college internet up and running on my linux machine, but i have a few quick questions about two programs i installed...firefox and gaim.

In fedora (or linux in general), how do you run firefox in the first place? After the install, firefox popped up automatically but after that i could not find the file to run in the firefox directory. Searching google revealed that typing "firefox" in the terminal while in the firefox directory would do it, but no such luck for me.

Also, in gaim I am using the tabbed window feature, and am wondering if there is a way to edit a keyboard shortcut for switching between the IM tabs. I know that in windows "CTRL+Tab" would do the trip, but in fedora that switches between the virtual desktops. Any info. you all can provide, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. :)

*Edit*

Found more info about Gaim...apparently in linux to switch between tabbed im's is "CTRL+Page UP", but the online documentation doesn't list it as a keyboard shortcut that can be changed...we'll see if that is the end of this story :)
