Some of the software i have settled on, apart from the usual stuff on Mandrake 10 : - Thunderbird (Eudora doesnt seem to want to evolve anymore, time to move on) - Opera (I was very happy this was also available in Linux, the interface though sux a little) - Kopete (Now i dont miss trillian) - Prozilla and Downloader for X - MC and Krusader - Digikam - Evolution I am still left wanting in the areas of : - ACPI stuff (Dell it seems does not make the best BIOS and i am at their mercy to make something thats better, even though i can now poweroff the laptop there is no battery indicator) - Syncing my NON NOKIA phone with Evolution (even though i have bluetooth working, no success with sync so far) - Ankur. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Well i am not really using any organiser right now as the syncing is not really functional so i am waiting. There is the Multisync application that could work but its too cumbersome to use, partly because of the standards used by Sony Ericsson in the phone i use. Kontact is also a promising PIM but it has stability issues (atleast on my setup) and it working on a sync module (kitchensync) but i have to wait and see. I do have the calendar extension is must say its really usable and good looking but for me to use it regularly, it has to sync. - - Ankur. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAampLbR7mO5apBYARAgZYAJ4jBpHDo5h45VprCLZWeNssekqYRgCgtfbr 6k4Ak6k5LCeMENLq/8N9ysw= =ULrn -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
[ilugd] Linux equivalents of Windows software
Hi all , I have recently migrated from Windows to the linux environment. One of the hardest parts of the migration was a single point info source of software that can help my transition so i can continue to do everything i did in Windows. I found these good links and i think this will help others in the same transition , if anyone else knows some other such links please let me know. http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-lin-soft-en/table.shtml http://www.linux.ie/newusers/alternatives.php thanks , - Ankur. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
