See my posts on Photoshop. They basically extend to all members of the Adobe Creative Suite and the former Macromedia Studio MX, including Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Fireworks, Flash, etc...

Audiation Assistant, by Bruce Dalby, available from GIAMusic.com. I can't get it to work under WINE. I am now trying to compile WINE from source, since everyone else was having sound problems with WINE in Ubuntu.

He has a website, www.tuneassistant.com .

Unlike traditional ear-training software, this is based on the Music Learning Theory most often associated with Edwin Gordon: www.giml.org. I don't think there's any replacement in the open-source world.

I would love a program similar to Netlimiter for Windows (http://www.netlimiter.com/).

If one exists could someone point me to it.

There needs to be a GNU analog to BootIt NG. It would probably use a stripped down linux kernel

, and it it could potentially use a combination of code from the SBM floppy, GNU fdisk, GNU dd, and GNU parted, and wrap it all in a GUI front-end.

It could even go a step further, and support EFI and Linux BIOS.

You must be joking. Get LaTeX, Gimp, and Firefox and consider it an upgrade.

I had asked for a Linux version of a new Beer Brewing software. They responded with a poll on their forum and stated that they will do one when they get 100 replies. They currently have 51. Any Linux using home or pro beer brewers out there?

I could really use Sibelius to be ported - also M$ Publisher - those are the only two Windoze programs I use on a regular basis.

Nettransport for downloading real audio files. Mplayer will do it but only at playback speed. If you give it enough threads, nettransport will take a fraction of the time.

Video calls enabled Skype would be nice.
