Linux Top Packages/sources/websites

mahesh2k
Here i want to discuss some of the free softwares/services,that may linux or BSD users forgotten,Or anyone who is interestd in Linux.

QUOTE
OpenOffice.org: This is a free replacement for Microsoft Office under development by programmers throughout the world.
Notice from BuffaloHELP:
Please take note that You can make Free PDF with this software,no other winows software allow you to do that.This package is growing and being more strong day by day.Now every distro offers Openoffice.org package in it.

KStars:-Kstars is ultimate planeterium based software.allows user to view the positions of stars from any location of earth.You can even learn about stras and other astronomical objects in Astroinfo.Astroinfo is built inside Kstars.Excellent piece of software.You can download from http://www.kde.org

Kdevelop:-Most of the time newbie developer including me are interested in developing application for the KDE.Nobody knows how to start ifthey are not coonected to internet.I learned most of the QT programming thru deigner Kit's help book.This is good software if you want create apps for famous Desktop manager KDE.Most of the windows IDE's are not free.VB.net studio is expensive but incase of linux you dont need to pay for making application.Most of the Distros ignore ths package.(e.g.SimplyMepis,Mendrake ).If anyone in this forum is close to these distros pls ask them to include this package into their distro.Developers can downlaod this package from http://kedevelop.org. If anybody is into this please let me know.

QUOTE
Samba: This package allows free operating systems to act as file servers for computers running various versions of Microsoft Windows. It has shown itself to be faster and more secure for this purpose than current Windows server products. The website for this project is http://www.samba.org.
Notice from BuffaloHELP:
I don't think anyone interested in it but Xserver is good piece of software that allows you to run windows application into Linux.Samba is useless for the OFF-line users.Where 69%of the computer users are not connected to internet.

QUOTE
Debian GNU/Linux: This is a complete free operating system for modern computers. It requires a minimum 80386 processor with 16MB memory. It has, at last count, over 8000 free software packages available for immediate installation. For more details, consult the Debian website at http://www.debian.org.
Notice from BuffaloHELP:

Hi mahesh2k & all,
Nice post.
Just in case you'all might think that linux software is somehow less etc..
here's some thoughts to consider.
In 2004 the Spanish federal gov't threw out ALL Microsoft products & installed Open Office on ALL their computers nationwide.
Wonder how many others will follow ?

    I'm looking for a light linux distro, but something decent, that will only run on about 128-256
    ram, CPU 1.8GHz, that has office (probably open office or abiword) that won't need more than
    about 2-4GB hard drive. (Something like puppy linux) Just to run in an emulator. I'm asking
    because there might be a killer distro out there that I haven't heard of or found that someone

  4. Installing Php Pear On Linux

    I recently installed PEAR into a PHP environment on a Linux machine, and as I did the installation I

    Extension and Application Repository. Basically I just use it for replacing php database connection
    functions. Download the go-pear.php script from http://go-pear.org/ . Open a command line shell
    and run the script: php go-pear.php QUOTE Welcome to go-pear! Go-pear will install the

  5. Lan Surfer In Linux
    GUI software to view other's shared files (2)

    to scan the LAN over a given range of IP addresses and then display the folders shared by each
    computer available on LAN in the specified range... now i have switched to Linux... Can you tell me
    any GUI software which would do this task in Linux ubuntu 7.04. I tried nmap but i did not
    find it that useful...i think it does only port scanning and stuff but does not display the files
    shared... but i am not sure..tell me if it can be used and how... I also installed s....
  6. More Than Just Free Hosting
    Would it be better to host more than websites? (3)
    I was wondering.. I love trap17 and its a great way to actually host a decent forum.. but.. would it
    be possible to also host gameservers? they shouldn't be that big and it depents on ur credits
    how many slots you've got.. for example: I've got 49 credits, and a regular slot for a
    random game costs 7 credits. Do the maths, its a 7-slot gameserver. If u want a 30 slots gameserver,
    you'll need 210 credits for 1 month.. I can promise you that hosting gameservers will gain
    trap17 loads, and i mean loads of new members. I know, its more expensive, since it t....
  7. When Trap17 Will Host Non-english Sites?
    "All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting"- (6)
    QUOTE All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting. We do this to ensure that
    Accounts are legal and have permissable contents. I totally agree with the need to ensure that
    accounts are legal and have permissable contentes, but I believe there's a big portion of forum
    members who speak English as their second language, including myself, and so, I assume some time
    they may need free hosting in their native language. So, why can't Trap17 host sites in those
    non-English languages which have a large community in the forums? I'm sure that t....
  8. Asp.net Hosting On Linux Servers?
    (1)
    Hi, I was searching the free ASP.NET hosting, but I didn't found any really good hosts. However,
    I found lots of good free hosting sites(like trap17) without ASP.NET support. Now I'm wondering,
    why there is only few free ASP.NET hosts with such poor plans? You may say, that ASP.NET requires
    Windows OS, but it isn't true, there is such tool named mono, which allows run NET technologies
    on linux OS and it is free(as far as I know). Then why hosts doesn't interested in ASP.NET? A

    city and watch the Fireworks I am messing with my WinTV and Razr V3. Man the bluetooth under Ubuntu
    is awesome. I love the proximity sensor. After you get it setup you can lock and unlock your
    computer automatically by walking out of or into the proximity of your computer. Of course you have
    to have Ubuntu installed and a bluetooth USB or built in adapter but once you are set it is really
    cool. Kind of off topic but I am messing with my WinTV HVR USB too. I will do another p....

    Any linux gamers out there? (0)
    Hi, are there any linux players out there? I know there are a lot of unique linux games out there,
    but they are too much to try them all (and my drive space is very limited). I'm currently
    trying auteria, a nice mmorpg, also available for windows. I like it because it's not as
    stupid (personal opinion), as most otherf MMORPG in which everything I do is killing monsters to get
    better weapons and higher levels to kill more monsters. Of course you can do the same in Auteria, if
    you want... but besides that it's really nice and you can do a lot of other thing....

    some websites are asking you to download their toolbar from a useful one like google toolbar to

    (example: mega upload). QUOTE whats browser toolbar? Third-party toolbars for browsers are
    best known for adding functionality and ease-of-use options to the end user. While the browser

  20. If Mac Osx Is Best With Hardware, Where Does Linux Lie?
    (5)
    Here's a good question: Is Linux better at utilizing hardware efficiently to produce optimal
    performance out of your components. I hear a lot about Mac OSX being so much better with Intel
    processors and yada yada, but I don't know if this is true or if a bunch of Mac elitists said a
    bunch of crap and ran with it. I don't think there are actual comparable benchmarks, but if
    there are, where does Linux lie in the hardware efficiency race? (Or is it dependent on which Linux
    distribution it is, like how XP still beats Vista in performance?)....
  21. What Made You Switch To Linux?
    (38)
    I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
    that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
    very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
    which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
    then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
    learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
  22. Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
    linux operating system (47)
    About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
    tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
    Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
    to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
    should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
    a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

    dimensions. my GFX card is labelled as "ATI Radeon Xpress 2OOMnwith PCI Express Graphics up to 128mb

    better at certain things and your reasons why. I would also like to know more about Linux because
    i'm slightly confused on it. Will it mess my computer up if i install it, dont like it, and

    bit, just for programming and other things like that. I'm not that good at programming and
    linux though ;_;... Well, I decided that the main reason I don't like to use it is that it
    looks so alien, and I hate how GNOME looks. I hear that if I move to KDE I'll be sacrificing
    some performance or whatnot. I have this really crazy linux zealot friend who preaches the linux
