    Code:
    apt-get update mozilla-firefox
    or whatever firefox is called in debian.
    Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
    Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
    Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

    Yes. For any sistem administration, including installing and upgrading packages you must be root.
