Indeed, cambridge, M-W online are nice ones... But I need one when I'm offline. So, I think dict and dictd are better choice for me.. :) are there any other such packages as of now? |
There are various graphical frontends to dict, have a look in Freshmeat. I use one called Ding
www.tu-chemnitz.de/~fri/ding/ It can also access spell checking and other dictionaries. |
well, now, I use Firefox with wordnet engine to check the words... It still does require net connection, though :(
But atleast, I don't have to open a new application for just checking the meaning of the word. |

There are a few other dictionary projects listed here: http://debianlinux.net/multimedia.html#written_language |
Ding is a lot more than that hypnadig. It can access anything that dictd can use and also aspell as well as its own German/English dictionary, and I think various other inter-language dictionaries. The website is very poor on description of it - download it and try it - I find it excellent.
