(1/3) > >>

binskipy2u:
anyone have a listing, website, etc to show what apps for linux can be used to do the same things as appz on windows does?
ie-mozilla
photoshop-GIMP
etc etc..
anyone have a detailed list?
currently i'm dualbooting with xp/rh8 and I LOVE RH8.
got my sound working, tdk48/24/48burner, and printer.. going to buy a scanner that works for both.
i'm converted..just finding patience and trying to think outside the (ms) box
thanks everyone for any help

voidmain:
Well this is a pretty frequently asked question but it would be better to list software categories that you are interested in.

emh:
Internet Explorer - Mozilla, Opera, Netscape, Konqueror, Galeon, and many others

Microsoft Office - Open Office, KOffice, Star Office (not free), and I think Gnome has its own office suite as well.

Photoshop - GIMP (don't know of any others off hand)

Windows Media Player - XMMS, Real Player, mplayer, xine, xmovie, there are many others

Don't know about Money manage ment software, but I've heard Quicken works with Crossover Office.

voidmain:
gnucash is much like Quicken.

binskipy2u:
here's what i have so far..
photoshop-gimp
acrobat-ps/pdf viewer
nero-KonCD, and XCDroast <are there any more, that are more configurable , better?>
office-abiword, open office.org
IE-mozilla, opera
Yahoo-gyach<works VERY NICELY beter then yahoo itself>
anyone have a suggestion for the BEST supported by xsane/kooka scanner under 100 bucks?
are there any webcams that can work under linux?
outlook-xiaminan evolution.. lot better then outlook and doesnt "freeze" while checking mail if you are typing a letter at the same time..
just doing some research..
thanks
