All the free software which we didn't prove had problems (yes some is on the commercial CDs). Quite a lot of business programs including multi-station accounting with real invoices and general ledger and time billing and even a web store which posts to the sales journal, most of the Software Offeed by TheKompany, and various server-oriented products. StarOffice now will support S3 Savage, and you will see more new software than old. CD9 has wizards that set up servers with just a couple of questions each. If you are into programming, XBasic has joined the ranks, complete with drag-n-drop to build graphical grids and instant translation to functions. Superficially resembling Visual basic, and running on X and on Windows, it is actually powerful enough that the compiler is written in itself. It was one of the packages that fell on a commercial CD though it is GPL with LGPL libraries, but don't worry. We surrounded it with a wreath of garlic and wolfsbane to keep away evil spirits.-) All the new games are on the free software, though. Stay tuned for some surprises. Civileme
