since whe ndoes a pdf reader for palm exist? I only know the shitty acrobat for palm which sux like nothing else in the world.

I thought there was. Not sure though.

I create pdf's in Linux on a daily bases. First I create the document in any app that I need a pdf from.
I then print it to a post-script format.
You can convert the ps file into pdf in one of two ways.
first in konqueror select the ps file and right click go to actions and select convert to pdf.
second in a shell type ps2pdf "Post-Script name" "Pdf Name"
Anyhoo that how I do it.

I have no problems to make .pdf ... I simply have NO programm that can DISPLAY a pdf on my PALM !!!

Thats why I need repligo by now. Because repligo is nearly like a .pdf but palm can handle it, with the repligo-viewer. And you have to convert .pdf into the repligo format to view it.

The major difference to adobe is, that repligo viewer is not bad at all. But the adobe viewer (which also does not view .pdf directly, it needs to convert too) is total shit.

So, I have no way of displaying a .pdf or something similar on my palm without using the repligo-thing which is like a printer for windows...

Got my point? :-)

Thanks, greetings and a nice weekend @ all!

Flash 5, not MX, I could stand 4.

All I need now is a good 3D CAD app, VariCAD just dosn't do what I need it to (plus its not free).

In a perfect world TurboCAD Pro would run on *NIX, but I'd be happy if it even installed under wine

Exactly. I've noticed the Slackware users here are snobs, think they are elite, and not actually into the distro because they like it.

Slackware was the first distro that got me into Linux, I had tried Redhat, Mandrake, and some others, but it made a bad impression of Linux on me. When I tried Slackware, I was amazed.

When first using Slackware, the amount of configuration and customization is pretty overwhelming. Now, I don't think I could ever use another distro, because if I lose any capabilities of customization or configuration that I currently have, I'll probably have to format

As for actual help for Slackware, go to irc.freenode.net#slackware. If you have any problems, even newb issues, EVERYONE in the channel will help you with it, if they aren't helping or getting help from someone else. I try to go there as much as possible to help out

Photoshop and Matlab (or at least an updated Matlab that works with Xorg and the newest Kernel)...and I'm too broke to buy anything.

Matlab 6.5 doesn't work with X.org? I've tryed it with XFree and works like a charm...

As an option, you can try to use Scilab (but has less functionality)...

I'd like to see Macromedia Breeze, or atleast an equivalent for presentations(like you can view for some of Macromedia's products - http://www.macromedia.com/software/breeze/overview/ ).

Cubase VST or a similar music mixing and editing program then I could ditch Windoze instead of having to install it on my new hard drive.

There is a whole generation of apps "attempting" to replace Cubase and similar.
I don't know exactly what the VST entails.

The combination Ardour, Rosegarden, Audacity could in theory replace Cubase in future.
I don't know - sadly as it stands they are pretty hard to install or to make it work - apart from Audacity.

Check out the links from this post

It contains other links.

Thanks Henryg

I've tried Rosegarden. It's good but VST is very full featured. Haven't tried Ardour and Audacity though. I guess I should give them a whirl and check out your post

Adobe CS ... InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator & Acrobat. I work for a small newspaper, so having Adobe apps in linux (especially InDesign) would be most beneficial, because I could do my paper-to-web publishing/updates from linux instead of windows.

I would also like to see Winamp be ported, but its pretty much dead (and there are still very good audio players in linux anyway... AmaroK and JuK are both very good).

Definitely Dreamweaver MX
