I'm rebuilding a system and thought i might have a look at Ubuntu instead of just reloading WinXPPro again ..
I see in the Ubuntu site lots of talk about open source versions of Office apps, browsers etc but no mention of compatibility (or otherwise) with Windows apps. are all those other apps at all compatible or do you need to find Linux/Ubuntu versions of everything? I can see that there are office, browser, media player equivalents etc but the kinds of apps i'm thinking about are sound apps (i run and edit radio shows from this machine), IDE things like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Audition and all those other little apps that just seem to accumulate here and there. Generally speaking, do you have to locate equivalent Linux/Ubuntu apps or do the existing WInXPPro versions generally work under Ubuntu? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Adobe Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
