I''m just wondering what file sharing programs you guys are using for linux. I tried to download the LimeWire client, but it downloaded as a .bin file and I don''t know how to decompress/install it.

Start X and then through console type ''./LimeWireLinux.bin''.

I use Gtk-Gnutella. I''d say it''s better than any other Gnutella client I''ve used, in Windows or *nix.

If I try just typing LimeWireLinux.bin, it tells me
bad interpreter: permission denied.

two things:

#1 is it +x ?

#2 did you type the ./ or just dismiss it?

try:

chmod u+x ./LimeWireLinux.bin
./LimeWireLinux.bin

wow dejao, how did you figure that one out ?

Did you read the response? He didn''t say to simply type LimeWireLinux.bin but rather ./LimeWareLinux.bin( the ./ in the beginning are necessary to tell the shell not to open another shell, which will cause the execution of the .bin file to crash )... Also, make sure that your .bin has the execute flag set.
