I have seen so many newbies confused with the linux that where they can search for the linux equivalent of program?.How to find the free application that can run on OS X. Most of the windows famous application have alternatives.Though it is pretty obvious that Linux project is not enough mature .so you can't expect that these applications are muchproductive.There is alternative to Adobe Photoshop called as GIMP (Gnu image manipulation program).but trust me it is not as good as Photoshop.Also there is no alternative for Macromedia's Flash.You know that this program also have no alt in Windows envirement.Programs like Swish,Corel Rave are not enough powerfull as Flash.But you can get your hands dirty with open source aps if you want. You can use Adobe's,Macromedia's Products on Apple OS X.Apple comes up with enough productive programs you dont need to go for any other alternative actually.but even if need you can get alt apps.As OS X is Unix based, so you would pretty much used the same programs. But, there are quite a few Apple only programs, such as Appleworks, Fink, iMovie, etc. In KDE you can use Kpackage for package management.Or every new distro come up with Synaptic package manager. Word of caution,you may encounter bugs with some softwares.Yes it is true that bad software exist in linux also.You are beta tester here,so dont forget to report bug to the perticualr development community.Chances are there that most of the developers will solve your problem. You can see some lists on the web where you can see the alternative applications. Check out this site,site is avialbale in various languages. http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/To find any missing rpm, you can take a look at http://rpmfind.net. For debian users >> You can use the apt command to manage deb files. use this excellent HOWTO http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ (check if it is dead link) << Hope you enjoyed the post.Reply if you have questions.

Ditch Windows For Linux?

Hey. In the vent forum I have been spending some time sharing problems with my windows pc. I have

I'm fairly confident it will slowly over a period of 1-2 years again become unusable. But Linux
