There
are no more technical considerations. I mean, what more do people
want?? What does Windows do that Linux doesn't???
ok so you asked for it, most are application or dystro issues, but some
aren't and Im not talking about running windows IN linux to get these to
work but as many just work in windows, figured its a place to start.
*it would be nice if linux really worked with more than 1 of my 10 printers
( 2 of which there is no excuse for lack of support)
*it would be nice if it supported w/o hacking all of the features of my
laptop .... (though not a HUGE deal)
*a presentation software package (like powerpoint) that worked !!! lets face
it when im at work trying to run one on linux and its not doing what I want,
I look bad! or if one of the other people in the room says "hey why didnt
you do" ... "like I did in powerpoint" again I look bad!
* it would be nice if i could handle excel and access files better, again I
cant say to my clients "sorry I dont run M$", and most dont understand that
either excel is the wrong tool for the job or that access isnt a tool :D
* full support for my scanner (though really its close ....)
* better video editing would be nice
* REAL data recovery software (all the good packages are m$ dos and or M$
windows based) and on that I wouldnt mind shelling out $,$$$ but it had
better work the first time just like the packages that run in/on M$ do.
* email though in reality I dont like the M$ versions either I end up using
3, OE (using now, on laptop) outlook and pine, and using all 3 is getting
can we say OLD!!!
* a FAST simple image viewer like acdsee, though in reality i have not tried
out any in the last 6 months or so .... so they could have gotten better
* and though this is more of a dystro and ME problem, it would be nice if I
could get rid of all of the server/multi user stuff. granted I like it on a
few machines, but back to my laptop the only user is ME, if I am going to do
something stupid im gona do it with or without having to type su - to do
so!!! a note from experience
* a good FlightSim would be nice, and full support for 2 monitors and my
joystick/flightstick whichamacallit (in the flightsim)
