Questions about different programs

[GODDLY]

OK I need the following:
Something to type up java script

And I have question on:
Azureus - I got it to install but it freezes a lot along with where does it go after I install it do I have reinstall it every time I use it?

Kb3 - it won't start at all and I don't know why

Kde TV - I plug the TV cards output Audio port to my sound cards input port but I get no sound. I get sound from my sound from my sound card, and if I directly plug my speakers into the TV card I get sound so I know it's not a hardware problem.

Wine - When I use it to run windows programs what happens to them to I have to keep installing them? Or do I have to make a small windows spot for them to be installed and then wine just runs the .exe?

I'm running Mandriva 2007
on a P3 700Mhz

Regarding wine, you shouldn't have to install a program more than once. All programs installed by wine are put in ~/.wine/drive_c; the path from there depends on where the program puts itself in relation to C:, but is generally somewhere in Program Files. The trouble with launching a program after it's installed with wine is finding the executable. Sometimes you'll get lucky and see a Wine menu in your start menu, which may grab the program launcher and let you run it directly, but more likely you'll need to delve into ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/whatever and find the executable yourself, then call wine on it. Once you've done that and verified that it works as expected, you can make a shortcut on your desktop or in your start menu. Or what I prefer to do is write up a short shell script that changes to the program diectory and calls wine on the program, and save the script in /usr/local/bin so that it can be called from anywhere.

You said you need something to type up "java script". Are you referring to a Java IDE, or a Javascript environment? If the former, I recommend Eclipse, which is essentially the most popular IDE right now.

If you mean Javascript, the web scripting language, you can use any text editor. I'm personally a fan of Bluefish for web development.

Yeah I need something so I can compile and debug my programs. and thanks I tryed serching before for programs I installed using wine I guess it's back to serching.

I don't have a /.wine dictory. and I typed doing a file serch for them and got nothing

No ~/.wine directory? What do you get when you type the following from your home directory?

ls -a | grep wine

If nothing shows up, what about this?

ls -a

[thomas@localhost ~]$ ls -a

That's what pops up on the second command
