Sibelius, Elite (All 3 of 'em), and the two follow ups to X-Beyond the Frontier

I used to use Calkwalk & Sonar. It might be nice to see if they could be moved over....
Thanks

Half Life 2 (with CS:Source), Photoshop CS 2, Macromedia Studio 8, DVDFab Decrypter + DVDShrink, War of Warcraft (IIRC this works with Cedega), and several others...

I get by without them on Linux, but I'd rather have them installed. Those are the ones I would like to see ported to Linux - although I know that most of those will never be ported.. At least, not the current versions of them - maybe in the near future, when Linux is more widely adopted

Oh, and don't forget IE!

i want to see first person shooters, such as F.E.A.R., Half Life, Half Life 2, UT 2K4, etc. Also i would like to see my favorite game, civ 4 ported to the linux platform. A few other awesome programs would be finale 2006, photoshop cs2, and macromedia fireworks. Then i can completely obliterate my useless windows drive!

SPREAD THE LINUX REVOLUTION!!!

CHEERS!

P.S. We can all dream, right?

i'm almost certain UT has been running on linux for the longest time...

someone please correct me if i'm wrong...

You're right, win32sux, they have all been ported to Linux - here is a review of Unreal Tournament 2004 on Linux.. However, that review is done on the game on Fedora Core 1, so read it with a pinch of salt

hehe, cool... i'll check-out that review...

i knew for sure UT GOTY edition (the old one from last century) ran on linux natively cuz i still play it on my linux P.O.S. box almost every day... i just wasn't 100% sure about the new versions... but yeah, i just stopped by the UT website and i can see they have a linux download demo there for UT2K4...

I've been running Linux a few years now and the only application I really, really miss from my Windows computer is the organizer from the Lotus Smart Suite.

I've tried various Linux compatible address books and calendars, and from my point of view they are either too good or too bossy.

I write fiction and the Lotus.org was the perfect tool tool for keeping track of my fictional characters addresses, relationships and work schedules. I could save a separate organizer for each story as well as my real life address book. (and it looked like a book and I could turn pages which was nice if not essential)

So far trying to do the same thing on Linux has been very frustrating because everything wants to integrate itself with the main system, and fond as I am of “Isuelt Hendy”, “Genevieve Brothwood”, and “Angharad Jones” they are fictional characters and I do not want to send emails to them.

Can anyone recommend a good address book for snail mail addresses that doesn't try to integrate with anything, has a calendar attached in both diary and chart form and will let me save separate multiple copies of itself without believing it should integrate the information?

That's right, rub it in! I did find the perfect solution, an organiser written by authors, for authors, for Linux (Then ported to Mac and Windy, but who cares?). Then I had a major system crash (Motherboard meltdown) and when I finally got everything up and running again I'd lost a load of stuff including my perfect solution, and could I find it again? I seem to remember the title was something to do with cafe or coffee and it was the work of a husband and wife team, but that's as far as I can get.

If anyone can identify this program you'll be helping two of us!


BTW. The UTs do work with Linux, they've been reviewed in Linux Format.

TurboCash accounting: It is one of the world's best in the category, and it is GPL already.

What I mean by that ambiguous title is why doesn't someone, smarter than myself, write a "universal" wrapper so that any pgm (almost) cd run under Linux, forget the dedicatd porting.

If I understand pgm'ing right, this shd be do-able. If so, it's more efficient than individual ports; and errors will be easier to find and fix since localized to the wrapper pgm.

Otherwise, why not "port" a virtual machine to Linux (or write it natively, or use one that is extant (I don't know of one, but I am a newbie). The VM paradigm has been overlooked for too long and it's finally coming into its own.

However, if I must name names, I like the idea of customization, so (if not done already), port WindowBlinds, or Aston or any of the UI costomization/skinning programs. FYI. What is actually out there in this regard, anyway?

InDesign,but somebody has already written it

this web site laims that adobe indesign 2.0 can run on linux i am not sure i am on my windows "yuck" pc because i lost the hd and mother board to my linux pc in a lighting storm the otherday surge proctor my butt

I want DirectX for linux so that i can play decent games without having to go back into windows
as well as the next version of macromedia Flash and Paint Shop Pro

That way, i will never have to use windows again!

This is called the Wine project and it has some commercial derivatives as well.

But it is far from easy to do because to undocumented features in Windows and copyright issues.
