OS – most distros of Linux
Office Suite – Open Office
Email Client – Thunderbird
Internet Browser – Firefox
Media Player – VLC
Graphics Processing – GIMP

All this software is legal, free AND stable. A Microsoft-free box is possible!

Linux, or even apps such as open office would cut costs tremendously.

I’m thinking of switching over to Linux, but I want to make sure that I’ll still be able to open my documents through Linux Open Office as they are now, without having to convert them to Rich Text or anything (that could take quite a while).

i want to ask
my brother use vista
i use good one ubuntu

my brother want give me some essay
my brother send as microsoft word
can i use abi word. k word and open office to open it
if cant
can i install microsoft word in linux

So I’m thinking of switching to Open Source, and I’m wondering which of the following are reccomended:
Open Source OS (if Linux, what distro?)
OS Office Suite (currently liking Open Office)
OS Antivirus
OS Image manipulation (like photoshop)

etc.

I’m an experienced user who does lots of web developing/design/stuff.

Let me know your opinion.

So I downloaded the Screenlets Application via the package manger thinking that they would be useful and such. Now they’re really annoying. Basically (no matter what I do) the widgets overlap my applications – like Firefox and Open Office. I’ve tried editing the options in Screenlets (like unchecking Keep Above and checking Keep Below) but nothing seems to work.

So, does anyone know how I can keep my Screenlet widgets going but without them overlapping my Programs? Thanks.

I currently have a Windows Vista computer. I’m thinking of getting a mini laptop with Linux OS because it is cheaper than getting on with XP or Vista. My only concern is I’m afraid I won’t be able to transfer my school work between both computers using Open Office. Does anyone know if this can be done?
