> The next Two parts will exclusively deal with the Software other than the one's which the Linux distribution, <EM

|
|
some cases it may be provided as an extra but may come as pre-compiled binary which may not exactly suit your purpose. Hence we have in most cases used source packages usually packed as tar gzipped -<TT
|
|
CLASS="literal"
|
|
>*.tar.gz</TT
|
|
>
|
|
or in some recent case in tar bzipped -<TT
|
|
CLASS="literal"
|
|
>*.tar.bz2</TT
|
|
> format. This gives us the maximum available choices to tweak, choose and delete the options within these Softwares. Just a word about the <TT
|
|
CLASS="literal"
|
|
>*.tar.gz</TT
|
|
>
|
|
and <TT
|
|
CLASS="literal"
|
|
>*.tar.bz2</TT
|
|

|
|
CLASS="literal"
|
|
>bz2</TT
|
|
> extention is smaller in size as compressed format.
