Linux on eMac :(

[Jan Legutko]

OK! I installed Fedora, Ubuntu and Yellow Dog. All of them works fine. 
I've done that because my Video configuration was wrong.. The answer 
was on the Ubuntu Forum site.. (my problem is the same)

I followed the instructions and everything runs fine now..

BUT :) I don't know how and I can't Install new applications to these 
systems.. I tried .rpm on Fedora, YDL, .deb on Ubuntu.. I 
double-clicked and nothing.. I know that probably I should do more, do 
something in terminal..
I heard that Mandrake is the easiest system.. I tried installing it but 
it doesn't work.. Does anyone knows what can be wrong? I have GeForce 2 
MX 32MB. This video card doesn't want to work with Mandrake.. Do you 
kno what do I have to do to make it running?
