Please be careful here. If you are that new that you don't know what a 
compiler is or where it is found, you need to do some reading so you don't 
leave your equipment vulnerable to be attacked by the scum of the earth. Once 
they hack your server, it is their server, and will flood the rest of humanity 
with spam and viruses...and you will get the blame by your ip addresses being 
added to every blacklist that exists.

Linux is a fun and interesting way to learn, but it is also a very full 
toolset that can wreak havoc if you are not careful!
