LibreOffice, Firefox, etc.
What do you mean "dependent on the internet"? And actually the installer does use dpkg to install things behind the scenes, what i meant is that you don't have to install it manually. |
1- Now I want to understand something, The Applications will work on Ubuntu like as [ media player,realplayer,directx,media player classic, mozilla,photoshop,windows live messenger, yahooo, microsoft office etc...] or will not work? If the answer is no. Is there any alternative programs?????
2- What are the problems that i will experience it after i will install Ubuntu??? |
equivilent media players, VLC replaces ALL of the above mentioned media player programs and will play almost any videos format not encumbered with DRM as well as unencrypted dvds and with dvdcss/decss can even play quite a few encrypted dvds
windows live messenger? there are programs like pidgin that handle multiple messenger protocols or amsn that is windows live specific microsoft office? open office, which is compatible with microsoft office photoshop? the gimp problems? there will be a small bit of a learning curve since the interface is slightly different then windows, as well as some of the methodologies (everything is installed through central repositories accessable through a package manager instead of going to individual websites, downloading the programs a and running an installer, this includes drivers which are part of the kernel and the update manager is in charge of updating everything installed on the system, not individual programs responsible for updating themselves, or having to go to the website, download an update program and run it) |

My Ubuntu came with Firefox, Open Office, a media player and even a video editor. And a bunch of other stuff (including the man pages). And of course the Software Center if I want to browse through applications. But yes, installing stuff usually requires downloading it first... So you need internet for whatever isn't there. |

no man pages no *working* media player no gcc, g++, gdb no emacs no chm reader no open office |
ubuntu 9.04 is old, the current version is 10.10
that being said you may not have installed it properly because i had openoffice and man pages though i forget if gcc was installed by default or if it had to be added |
