Hi, I too faced that problem and my migration completely to linux seemed impossible. I tried to migrate to linux since the release of Red Hat 9 but the migration did not prove to be fruitful. I installed different distros (all in hope to leave the windows completely) but lack of programs that are used frequently, I had to stick to windows.
I don't use linux as desktop operating system that much, but all changed when I opted for Ubnutu Hardy Heron (8). I installed the hardy heron a week ago and now I don't use windows much. (Near to zero utility). I am still searching for more good programs /packages to make my migration easy and productive. I always faced problem connecting to internet earlier, though I was helped by FOSS teams, I could not connect to internet. Now with ubuntu, I have connected to internet, Updated all the packages (Still downloading...), Found some good programs on net like Skype (Which I use most), XAMPP (for development). I am using Quanta Plus as a replacement for dreamweaver. I am downloading Kompozer to replace quanta, but I am feeling at home with Quanta. Gimp for Photo editing (Not much productive with Gimp) and downloading GimpShop (Heard that it is easy to migrate from photoshop). Downloading Inkscape as a replacement for illustrator, Downloading f4L for Flash and the list continues. Downloaded Eclipse for other programming stuffs. Still need to download different plugins. I think I will get everything here on ubuntu. This is my view on my migration. Hope everyone enjoys the migration as much as I am. - Sanjeev On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 5:06 PM, suraj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > You can find a list of alternatives at > The Linux Alternative Project: http://www.linuxalt.com > and > Free and Open Source Software Directory: > http://www.webi.org/osalternative.html > > On Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 4:40 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> >> I will switch to linux if i have at least one alternate software of >> the folowings. >> >> Adobe photoshop CS3 >> Adobe Dreamweaver >> Adobe Illustrator >> Macromedia Flash >> Macromedia Freehand MX >> >> I have some other small but 'i cant live without' softwares which only >> run on windows too. >> >> Cheers >> Safar >> >> >> > > > -- > Regards, > Suraj Sapkota > सुरज सापकोटा > ----- > This space intentionally has nothing but text explaining why this > space has nothing but text explaining that this space would otherwise > have been left blank, and would otherwise have been left blank. > -Kernel.org > ----- > > > > -- the DEVIL --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
