johnhagen,

1 . Add new apps either using Ubuntu Software Center (under Applications menu) or Synaptic Package Manager (under System, Administration).
2. Don't quite understand the problem ... should work.
3. If you want to know which Ubuntu version you are running just open a terminal and type the command lsb_release -a if you want to know which version of Linux kernel you are running in the same terminal type uname -a
4. tar.gz are generally compressed source code files which you need to decompress and the compile .rpm files are binary install files for the Red Hat family of Linux e.g opensuse. If you want to download a file and with a double click get it to install then you will need a .deb file. These are for the debian / ubuntu family of Linux.
5. Google it should get some good refs from Ubuntu

The Ubuntu Pocket guide should answer most of your questions. Dowload it and read it in your free time. Happy Trails, Rok
