Hi All,
The sales guys have asked me a question. What commercially "recognisable"
software is available AND supported on Linux. They gave "MYOB"[1] and "Star
Office". They don't want stuff that runs via emulators (wine etc), or
virtual machines (VMWare, BOCHS etc) - they want real, native Linux ELF
binaries :) Desktop software is preferred as there is plenty for the
backend. Also, little "do a single task" apps (like Real Player, and Acrobat
Reader) aren't really what they're after either. Open/closed source,
BSD/GPL/other isn't a factor.
So how about it folks? What have you seen/heard of that is offered as a
NATIVE Linux app and is commercially produced/supported etc. Any links or
publisher's websites would be most beneficial.
Cheers,
James
[1] Word has it they (MYOB) are releasing a native Linux version some time
next year.
