Ok, here is a curve ball for you Butch; WinBox into a MikroTik router running v2.8. <grin>
Only because recently you said you couldn't WinBox into a v2.8 client router we were working on together from your Linux machine. <ducking> Best, Brad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Butch Evans Sent: Monday, December 10, 2007 12:32 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] OT......Question On Mon, 10 Dec 2007, Travis Johnson wrote: > Adobe Photoshop GIMP > Scansoft Paperport Don't know what this one is. If it is a scanner driver, then there is one called "sane" for Linux. There is possibly more functionality in your app, but I am not familiar with what it is or does. > Quickbooks GnuCash works well. It is not "compatible" with QB, but it's functionality is similar and even looks a lot like QB. I have moved most of my invoicing to an online solution (see https://butchevansconsulting.freshbooks.com/signup/) for a free trial for Freshbooks. It is a web based application, so it works for ANY OS. > iTunes (for my iPhone) MP3? I am not an iTunes user, so perhaps I am missing what you are after here, but manipulating MP3 files and interacting with a cell phone (via bluetooth, USB or IR) is easy. There are MANY places to download music (legal places like iTunes). > Streets and Trips 2008 I use google maps for this, but there is another program called GpsDrive that will provide you with similar functionality as Streets and Trips. The only thing that may be missing is the ability to export your trip data to your mobile phone, if you use that sort of functionality. For use in the car, I don't use my laptop OR phone. Instead, I use a GPS for the car, so perhaps there are other features that you can't get that I am not aware of. > Radio Mobile Hmm...Not sure if RM will run under Linux with WINE, but I see instructions to install it, so I presume it will work. > Quark Xpress Not sure what this is, either. > Visio DIA. DIA is a diagramming tool with functionality that is similar (maybe better) than Visio. FWIW, the openoffice toolset is a MUCH better solution, IMO than Microsoft's Office suite. I use presentation software ALL the time (for the classes I teach), so to me, that is a VERY important requirement. One benefit (for me) to OpenOffice is that it will export directly to PDF format. It can open MS Office documents, and even write in that format. Evolution offers the email solution that is similar in function to Outlook, in that it has a contact manager, calendar function and can sync with Windows Mobile phones. Firefox is a better browser, but there is a distribution of Internet Explorer for Linux as well, if you have sites that require IE. There are THOUSANDS of other applications available. These are just a few examples. Many games are not going to run on Linux, but there are a LOT of games available for Linux, too. I am not a gamer, so I can't speak to what is and is not available for this. -- Butch Evans Network Engineering and Security Consulting 573-276-2879 http://www.butchevans.com/ My calendar: http://tinyurl.com/y24ad6 Training Partners: http://tinyurl.com/smfkf Mikrotik Certified Consultant http://www.mikrotik.com/consultants.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
