What programs would you like to see ported to Linux?

I've been waiting almost a year for the Unreal Tournament 3 port. I bought the Windows version in November because they said it would allow me to download the Linux version when ready.

Still waiting, but some of the game sites have a 1 September delivery date.

We'll see...

Sony Vegas Movie Studio. I keep XP around running under VirtualBox and Vegas works well but a Linux version would be nice.

Hi,

As I live in an area that will most probably never have high speed connection I would be delighted to have a dial up accelerator like the one Coli uses. Just a plain Jane one would be fine. Don't need all the bells and whistles. I would fork over 50 bucks for one.

Hey all,

I just found an ips that has a dial up accelerator that works with Linux.
They charge about 16 bucks a month and they have local numbers all over the US.
I think I will try it when I have a little more time.
It's called webcs.com.

I pity you.
as for never, that will change - or else dialup will get faster

Photoshop and Dreamweaver and hotspot shield

I would like to see a smv converter ported to Linux so that flv avi and other file types could be changed. My mp3 player only does video in this format. The conversion tool only works in M$ and takes forever to work, sometimes 5 minutes to do a single video. It crashed a laptop running a core duo CPU and 2 gigs of RAM just because I had Firefox running at the same time and the anti-virus started the backup by itself.

Try GIMP and Krita, and Nvu and Quanta.

for xhtml check SCREEM, which seems better.

Virtual Center client for VMware's Virtual Center; actually both client and server would be good. And if it supported a free database like PostgreSQL instead of just Oracle and M$-SQL that would be a boon too.

Of course I don't expect this to happen.

Do you mean that you would like to see those databases in Windows, right? Because in Linux both MySQL and PostgreSQL are available and free of course.
