Hi Manis,
It would have been helpful if you said what Linux
distributions you are using (the headers only tell me that
posted from some version of Windows). There are different
package managers in Linux (yum, apt-get(Synaptic),
RPM(YaSY), Zen?, SMART?) and while all achieve the same
task, they do so differently. Think of them as the many
different installer types in Windows (zip archive,
executable to self-(un)compress, InstallShield and a variety
of other tools one can find on CNET's download.com).
Certain programs have a script (exectutable) called
uninstall. Try to find it. In other cases, all you need to
do is access your distribution's package manager and untick
the undesired program. Some say that owing to the
centralisation of software package in a repository and the
inclusion in this 'umbrella' that is the package manager,
un/instalation in GNU/Linux is very trivial and requires no
'leg work' or prior knowledge/reading.
Hope it helps,
Roy
