I think you're going to have to look elsewhere if you need help with
basic Linux administration tasks such as installing software.  People
on this mailing list are usually pretty happy to answer questions that
have something to do with PostgreSQL, but it sounds like your
questions are a lot more general than that.  As far as installing
packages goes, it depends on what version of UNIX you are using.  Red
Hat Linux will be different from Debian or Solaris or FreeBSD.  You
might want to start by using Google to research some of these
questions.
