U must not have looked in the right place for linux software, it took me 15 seconds to find these links in Yahoo,
Good linux site for software HYPERLINK "http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/"http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/S oftware/ or use this one its good also HYPERLINK "http://www.linux.org/apps/"http://www.linux.org/apps/ NOTICE : WindowsXP ect users U must realize that u have to install / Compile A lot of Linux software to get it to work, Linux isnt a Download unzip and run Platform U must know that u have to use ./Configure Make Make install etc, to get your software working most installation Procedures are as follows but not always,, as long as u have all your librarys on the distro The installation procedure for software that comes in tar.gz and tar.bz2 packages isn't always the same, but usually it's like this: # tar xvzf package.tar.gz (or tar xvjf package.tar.bz2) # cd package # ./configure # make # make install If you're lucky, hehe by issuing these simple commands you unpack, configure, compile, and install the software package and you don't even have to know what you're doing. However, it's healthy to take a closer look at the installation procedure and see what these steps mean. Crash_Beta2006 _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 12:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] Software Questions I have some questions that are more opinion oriented rather than technical. I have several programs that I use on a daily basis on WinXP and I am looking for something similar to use in Linux so I can do away with windoze completly. Preferably free programs. First, I use Macro Magic. I use it to fill in email address, passwords, text I use frequently like several email signatures, frequently used html tags, and even to start programs, etc. Using hotkeys, or key combinations. It is a program I use constanly. Second, I use AI Roboform, which isn't real important if I have a good macro program, but still I use it all the time. I know they make a version for Linux, but I don't want to have to pay for it again. Last is my checking account program. It is called Just Checking. It is a very simple, basic, graphical checking register. I don't need anything as complicated as Quickbooks, just somewhere to keep up checking and savings account. I have tried searching google for such programs, and I have spent hours looking through the results. The world wide web has become a little TOO wide...I thought I would ask some opinions so I would have a little better place to start.
