GNU/Linux is needed and used by people
1. Who want to share softwares and love freedom.
2. Who do not have too much money to invest in software alone.
3. Who wish to learn and develop softwares at a cheaper cost..
4. Who wish to earn money legally and who do not want to enter into
legal troubles.
5. Who do not want the society, within which he lives, to be
pupets of multinational business firms.
6. Who want to use a stable OS
7. Who want to learn how the OS execute the instructions .
and the list goes on.

them.

There is a lot of Front end Creating environment .Some of them are:
GLADE, VDK BULDER, KDESTUDIO ,etc etc.
PHP + posrtgress + apache is a very good combination for building
Web based applications.
GLADE + POSTGRESS/MYSQL is very good for standalone or networked
environment.

Koffice is a very good package
ABIWORD + GNUMERIC + evolution/balsa (mail clients) is a good
choice.They are integrating all these packages.
