There is a Russian site that keeps a software directory of equivalents
/ replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux:
http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html
From that site:
"One of the biggest difficulties in migrating from Windows to Linux is
the lack of knowledge about comparable software.
Newbies usually search for Linux analogs of Windows software, and
advanced Linux-users cannot answer their questions since they often
don't know too much about Windows :).
This list of Linux equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows
software is based on our own experience and on the information obtained
from the visitors of this page (thanks!).
This table is not static since new application names can be added to
both left and the right sides. Also, the right column for a particular
class of applications may not be filled immediately. In future, we plan
to migrate this table to the PHP/MySQL engine, so visitors could add the
program themselves, vote for analogs, add comments, etc.
If you want to add a program to the table, send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the name of the program, the OS, the
description (the purpose of the program, etc), and a link to the
official site of the program (if you know it).
All comments, remarks, corrections, offers and bugreports are welcome
- send them to winlintable[a]linuxrsp.ru.
