Aureal sq2500 drivers for linux [k desktop]

I need drivers for my aureal card please. I found the alsa site and got on it one time now i cant seem to get back there. every other aureal site has went down as well or at least the ones I checked did. Another question .........dos uses .exe as the extension to run a program , What convention is used under linux? I know from what i have read so far that linux doesnt use anything like the 8.3 Dos convention. So what tells the prog to run under the k desktop?

I am also having a time trying to get my ISP hookup under control get an error 19 failed to authenticate to server error. PW and username are correct but some of the other items in the setup I am unfamiliar with {ppd } if I rem right. I have only had linux for a couple of days and think I'm going to like it quite well once I learn more about it. Coming from DOS it seems kinda strange. I like the K and the Gnome desktops but Damn is there a lot of stuff to go thru!! Anyway Its installed on a p3 700 e @980,256meg ram, usr 3cp5610a modem ,linksys Nic,geforce 2 GTS 64m,Aureal sq2500 45 gig maxtor HD Maxtor ata 100 controller card, plextor 8432 cd/rw,and a 50x cd.

Yea I'm rambling but I have so many question that are unanswered, I am trying to read the documentation that came with the dist. "mandrake 8.0" but I dont seem to be coming across what I want to know.

And how do u install additional programs?
For God sake give me a book title!!
I have one on all kinds of command line stuff but it doesnt say anything about the desktop environs. AGGGhhh!!

Thank you!
 
Kavrok: Linux uses a permission system for files. There are three user classes: world, owner, and group. Each of these can have a read, write, and execute bit set. So if a file is to be executable by everyone then the world executable bit should be set (the world read bit must also be set). If a file is only to be executed by the owner of the file then the same applies but you set the owner executable bit instead. For example, to make a file called example executable by the owner type:

chmod o+x example

You can the replace o with either g (for group), w (for world), or a (for all, which sets all three). The x can be replaced with r for the read bit or w for the write bit, and the plus can be changed to a minus if you want to "unset" the bit.
