Maptech Terrain Navigator. Very nice topographic map software. That and a version of OO impress that works better with the powerpoint they force me to use at work.....

Otherwise it would be 100% pure slackware.

You can already mount images in linux without 3rd party software.

Why would you need Daemon tools?

Deamon tools is easy to use, and can take more image files than the linux apps can.. and I don't want to be writing in the console just to mount a cd image..

well I have looked in to CDEMU.. It don't take all the image sorts I have.. and Linux is not all about console so I won't get used to it..
apart if linux is about console, but not everything so get used to that.. (but CDEMU could be a great app if some one just made a gui for it that works in other window manegers than KDE.. And if someone could fix so it can take more Image files..)..

Hey FrostBot if Linux is only about the console than it might as well stay in your dark closet because only relay geeky people would use it. So no it not just about the console anymore. I have a wide range of customers using it. From 3yr olds to a 85 yr old and some have no clue what a console is. So you should get used to the fact that it's much more than just a console so you get used to it. I'am sorry for going off topic like this but that statment was uncalled for.

Ok you just took it a little too hard there courtrrb. And I meant it as a way that anything can be done from within the console. So chill out, why are people getting so offensive? Geeeeez.....

I would call it akin to the difference between reading a book and watching a film. A film is very pretty and can take you on a roller coaster of visuals but a book is more indepth in that you are part of creating the landscape and control at what pace the story proceeds.
I like both but it doesn't mean I am a geek if I prefer to read the book than watch the film. Is any of this making sense? lol! Ok ok, sometimes the film is better than the book but you need a video player and a widescreen telly to get the most of a film, a book is just a thing in your hand creating a widescreen image in your mind.
It takes an ounce more imagination to use a console which is more than alot people are prepared to to put into it. Lets face it, if you are only looking to browse the web I would go for mozilla over lynx any day!!!

This got out of hand.. I just wanted to get Deamon Tools ported and be able to mount CD Images not using the console. Like in Windows..
And here we go.. You can run a Linux system compleatly without using the console, but some people like the console, I'm not one of them. Those two kind's of people can live side by side becourse no days some people makes guis for the console apps.. so stop tracking down those who don't think like yourself.. but the linux people have to see that the platform is under construction and window manegers are going to be bigger then thay are now. It's time to stop live in the past..

1) Photoshop CS
2) Flash MX 2004
3) Dreamweaver MX

Never really used Dreamweaver, but I suppose it would be nice, KWrite all the way!

I suppose Paint Shop Prop would be nice, too, but Photoshop is a hundred times better, just has a little bit of a learning curve...
