yeah, the FAQ does. It's linked at the top of the forums and in the left menu on the main site. Try the "Emulator Homepages" section.

You need .nes ROM files. The tasvideos policy is not to give out ROMs, but a google search of NES ROMs with "I'm feeling lucky" should work fine.

I downloaded a rom and when I tell it to open the rom with the fce file it doesn't do anything what so ever. Is there something I might have forgot to do?

Run FCEU, go file -> open -> the ROM.

The problem with doing that is that when I click on fce it asks me what to open it with like it doesn't recognize the file.

IXRAYI, fceu for linux doesn't have a gui interface you'll probably want to run it from the command line. 
fceu romname.nes
should work.
