can someone pls explain how to get a namecoin address and how to use it in general? i read all the FAQs but i still dont understand anything...

Linux:

Code:

$ uname -m
x86_64
$ wget http://dot-bit.org/files/namecoin_linux64.tgz
$ tar zxf namecoin_linux64.tgz
$ mkdir .namecoin
$ cat >.namecoin/bitcoin.cfg <rpcpassword=insert_s0me_p4ssword_here
rpcport=8337
EOF
$ ./namecoind &
$ ./namecoind help
backupwallet
deletetransaction
getaccount
[blah blah, you are supposed to be interested in reading the output]
$ ./namecoind getnewaddress
NFMrAM9jv...

Windows: err I guess some endless sequence of clicks here and there...

If you get "i386" after executing "uname -m" at the very beginning, then download and use namecoin_linux32.tgz instead of 64.
