I'm installing Solr, but I need it in an older release (1.4) so I'm installing it via tarball and not via apt-get. If I installed it via apt-get it would go somewhere nice off of root, I presume. If I do it via tarball, do I have to drop it somewhere into my home (~) directory? Seems slightly awkward
generally if you install from source, you extract the tarball, cd to the directory and run ./configure, make, and sudo make install (the last command is what puts the files in the correct places and 'installs' it. When you extract the tarball there should be more specific instructions either in the readme or the install file. You may need to install certain dependencies before it will compile and install, sudo apt-get install b

I use Windows XP daily, but more and more I am trying to convert my work to Ubuntu (save gaming, of course). One problem I have is that apparently Linux inherently uses the middle-mouse button for copying/pasting (in WinXP you middle-mouse click to slide down), so Firefox cannot use it to rapidly scroll down the page. Is there any alternative to scrolling it with the wheel or dragging the scrollbar manually? The middle-mouse click
