Where is the free Halo for Linux?
Do you mean the game, the drawing/painting program?
If the latter, then The GIMP blows it away.
>> Where is the free home designing /landscaping program for Linux?
I can't find it in issuezilla, but with a couple of enhancements to
DRAW, it will work as well as any of the windows programs.
IIRC, the following changes were needed:
* support for the gallery;
* A way to extend a line a specific distance, using a specific scale;
* A way to create concentric geometric shapes;
I've forgotten which Linux program was used for cad/CAM. [Blender? The
GIMP? POVRAY? IIRC, it was one of those three.]
BTW, I found half a dozen commercial programs for Linux that provide
this function. Probably shovelware.
Where are the free viruses for Linux ;-)
There are somewhere between 50 and 60 of them.
Or did you mean "Where is the virus de jour for Linux?"
Where is the free voice recognition software for Linux?
Are there any FLOSS programs that offer the same functionality as a
$10,000+ commercial program. Because that is how much a half way
functional voice recognition program for windows costs.
FWIW, there is an EMACS addon that does this. It is as bad as any of
the junk you see at office depot, that claim --- falsely --- to offer
voice recognition.
>> Where is the free family tree maker for Linux?
I thought I saw a Gencom driver for OOo a year or two ago.
I remember it being discusses on one of the OOo lists.
>> Where is the free Better Homes and Gardens for Linux?
Ask them why they don't provide it for Linux, for free.
[And why should they offer it for Linux for free, when they sell it for
windows?]
>> Where is the free Road and Trips for Linux?
Google is your friend.
>> Where is the free Reader Rabbit for Linux?
I'm not sure what Rabbit Reader does, but it is available for Linux.
Try looking on eduforge, or whatever the educational software equivalent
of sourceforge is.
>> Where is the free Dear Avenger for Linux?
I assume this is the game. It also looks like it runs on Linux.
I haven't looked at games recently, so i don't know what they consist of
these days. I remember the days when I could write my own games that
displayed better audio, graphics, and plot lines than the commercially
available products had.
