[dba-Tech] Linux Problem

[Arthur Fuller]

I do have an inkling about sudo, but I don't know how to use it when
presented with a list Box containing current downloads. I would have
thought that Right-Click would give me an option Run As, but no such luck.
Ij, given a file whose type id .DEB, how can I open and run it? There is
only one user on this Linux box, namely me, but apparently I do not have
Admin rights.
