Hi folks,
this might at first sound strange, but so far I have not found any
text like this and I am sure this would help the newbies a lot
on their first steps because "the net is vast and infinite" :)
and applications are that many and time to test them all is
far too short...
Anyhow, what I would like is some doc which lists all the apps
that you can find on freshmeat or elsewhere in the net and
compare their capabilities, sorted by type.
For instance, I hear all those asking here
============
"What Audio-Tool suits me best" and we all answer our favourite
tool, be it ECA, broadcast or whatsoever.
Same with "What HTML-tool is my choice" and we all go like
advising BlueFish, HPB or Quanta.
And so forth. See what I mean?
I receive the Tucows stuff every day - they could learn to send
out only ONCE per week and roughing things up by simply (!!!!!!)
repeat SIMPLY writing #two# lines of what has BIG improved or
added. I suggested them already twice. They don't. What a pity.
But all I would love to give the newbies that ask me in our
city (we have Linux meetings here) is a list of FAQ-tools,
such as
Audio Tools (be it Players, Modifying Tools, Samplers)
Web-Tools (be it Designers, or even on Coding)
Mail-Tools
or even more.
#IS# there such a thing or should we start and create one?
I would then ask every dude to send me a suggestion on his
favourite 3 programs or alike. We could then spread this
"newbie-linux-app-list" with features and sorted by apps
over maybe this list (once a month would be enough, right).
We could hereby lower list-traffic, since this list has
no actual FAQ and the FAQs are like "Which is the best
INet Browser" - so why not listing Konqueror's features
against NS's? That way the newbies do not have to test all
out on their own, they see what options would suit and many
questions are much faster answered.
Comments appreciated.
In case I have overlooked that there already is s.t. like that,
simply have a smile and bear with me and point me to it.
Best regards, folks, love you reading here.
Special greets to Corvin & co.... :-) hah and to Volker Kuhlmann,
you just did (Mail 12.7.2001) what I am trying to explain here!!
