You just download it using the firefox browser in Linux here

and then follow the instructions on this page:

But I understand your frustration. Linux just isn't that simple and the endless variations of it don't help with the learning curve. The Unity desktop that is used in Ubuntu now is also puzzling to me, mostly because I don't want to take the time to figure it out.
Thanks mrmikel. I went to the site but I'm not comfortable working in the terminal yet. (I went there once, with lousy instructions on how to use it, and had a heck of a time getting out of it.) It's like Harry was saying, I need to learn more about Linux. Once familiar, it'll probably seem easy. Right now, it seems uber complicated. Appreciate your help. Thank you.
