Hey Mate,Well, I guess the first thing to say is that linux programs are not copies of win progs but are stand alone apps that accomplish the same things. Most of the linux apps can read and write in the win formats which facilitates multiusers.I use a linux only set up at home but must use win at the office so I transfer many types of files across. Here are the ones I use most:Openoffice (complete office suite similar to MS Office and completely compatible)the GIMP - graphicsQuanta - html codingXMMS - mp3 player and media managerk3b - cd burnergaim - msn, yahoo, icq clientxchat - irc clientgFTP - ftp clientgtCAM - digital camera softwareI like the customisation of linux the best! Especially window manager. Currently I am using Enlightenment which has a completely different look and feel to windows and IMHO ... much nicer. cheershashbang

looks like the site dont allow hot linkin.i dont think it will take off.. i installed a 3d destop environment a while ago on my Gentoo Linux box.. it was pretty,, but it took 5 times aslong to organise my desktop.if you want somthing amasing AND usefull, install Xorg 6.8, the dektop (kde in my case) supports transparent windows...window contents everything...How many people can say they watched a full screen DVD, and surfed the internet on a full screen web browser at the same time, on the same screen.... i can..

The question not in that what programs similarly on those which is in Windows, a question in that how many in Windows and how many in Linux. The truth Linux is not so adapted to domestic computers, but I nevertheless hope for achievement of good results.

There is a good site here which allows users who have previously only used Windows to see which programs perform roughly the same tasks as those they are used to in Windows.

 

Still, this should simply be seen as a help for users trying to understand Linux, when they haven't used it before. As hashbang said, the Linux apps are predominantly complete, fully featured apps, not just clones of Windows programs.

 

Linux itself is vastly more flexible than Windows as an operating system. It is 100% customisable, can run any one of dozens of desktops (simultaneously), virtually never crashes (even when individual programs do), etc. However this doesn't neccessarily make it a better system for all purposes. There are a vast number of people who just want something that works- they don't care about how it works, how to make it work better, how to make it different, etc.

 

For those who enjoy understanding computers and the way they tick, Open Source (whether BSD, Linux, Hurd or any other) is a good idea. As the most widely used, Linux has the greatest support, and is therefore a good starting place.

 

For those who want to play Half Life 2 and Doom 3, stick in Windows.

Frankly, the GIMP isn't a replacement for photoshop. Its a replacement for paint shop pro.On another note, the benefit and drawback of linux is all the customization. Because everything is supposed to be 'customizeable' things don't get the synergy that they do on even windows, much less a mac. For instance, the names and addresses I put into address book on my mac are available to my email program. Words that I add to the spellchecker are global, i don't have to add them in every program, etc. The other problem I see linux having is the issue of new people finding what software they want. Sure they have a choice, but that doesn't mean they have a comprehensive solution, or even a good solution, without a lot of work(if it even exists).The biggest boon to the free software movement would be some real effort not on features, but on ergonomics and useability.On that note, thats what I have training in, so if anyone knows an open source project that would be willing to talk to me, I would love to help.
