There are things that we often take for granted, such as installing applications, relying on our crossed-fingers that it won't bork our Linux installation. Each of us probably have a thing or two to say about how best to install applications, some tips and tricks, some to-dos. However, Jack Wallen of TechRepublic, managed to come up and actually write the 10 common mistakes we make when installing applications on Linux.
