Firstly, HTML is forbidden on the list. Did you read the rules before
subscribing?

If you're using Debian, the quickest way is to install the Debian
package of FreeRADIUS. As root, run the following command:
# apt-get install freeradius

The FreeRADIUS mailing list isn't the appropriate place to ask general
questions about Linux. For example, you could start reading the
documentation from Debian http://www.debian.org/doc/ and ask
questions on http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
