(interleaved responses) I would like to add that this is starting to look like a database project. I guess it is time for me to learn Postgres or MySql, eh? :) I may have finally found a use for some of the free disk space I get from Ameritech.net & AOL. :) "Eugene C." wrote: > Although others are compiling lists of recommended > software to demo, I will be compiling the most > exhaustive list I can of the available software. > >>> > Ok, perhaps you could add a list of "url", where > others such lists can be found, such as > "sunsite/Metalab" or "Linux.org" site. That is a certaintity ... I would not want the list I am compiling to get stale without some means to remedy that. A linux software list becomes outdated while printing the first copy :) <It's a nice problem to have :) > > > <<< > I would appreciate it if someone from countries where > English is not dominant would compile similar lists > for their local language. > >>> > I am working on the applications list in french. > Sorry, Klingon will have to wait... > What I have in mind is that each local language would create a list of the programs available for Linux in that local language. StarOffice, for instance, is certainly available in German ... but is it available in Italian or Romanian or Portugese? I don't speak Romanian ... but there are still people in Romania who do not speak English. For that matter, there are a fair number of people in the US who do not speak Engish with any fluency :) The final result I am looking for is a grid showing such things as 1)name of program 2) general functional category 3) form of copyright / licensing 4) emulation status 5)language availability (hey, some cool programs may only sprechen zie deutsch or parle en frances <hopefully better than I do!> > Also ... if anyone has had experiences with programs > under the various emulation programs, whether a > program worked there or not, I would appreciate > hearing about this.
