I'm gonna install ubuntu, but an OS is useless without programs. so give me a list of yours. from the most useful to the least as many as possible? cause i'll google them to try Ubuntu.. thanks! |

Comes with Firefox, Openoffice, a free cd or dvd burner. Some games already installed when you get the installation done. Usually with Each version of Ubuntu. They give you some stuf already installed in. Like what I have mentioned So you would not need to go over the net to find them. If you take a look on Ubtuntu web site they give some info of what comes with it there. |

Use AlternativeTo to get a rough idea of what programs you can install to replace your Windows-based ones. |

I've read a blog saying Ubuntu is free. but by having Ubuntu, it induces you to buy Not-free softwares. that is why the blog said that ubuntu isn't really free.
bdw. I'm planning to use WUBI installer if that makes a difference. oh youre on wubi, than you don't need any drivers... i think. :/ Ooohh... okay., gud luck for me.. anyway what's your Ubuntu Antivirus? yoou don't need antivirus on linux based os, i doubt in existance of one... :) but is there an antivirus for linux based OSes? you see, it's open source and an OS no matter what, and I feel that it can be targeted by criminals, and so I don't feel secure. it is secure. most secure os out there. Linux have very big community and whenever something goes wrong they fix that within day. so don't worry, on windows first thing you have to worry are viruses, but on Linux, that is last thing you should worry about 1
If you were to run an antivirus, I would recommend this one: http://www.clamav.net/lang/en/download/packages/packages-linux/ I've used it in the past and it has always worked for me, this is mainly because I dual boot and have actually had to get rid of virus's on my Windows partition, ClamAV works very well for that kind of thing! oh!! so you're using Linux as a Windows Cleaner then? since virus won't work with Linux, you boot Ubuntu, clean the PC and voila! no more windows virus! cool.

Well I'm using openoffice.org, Mozilla, Skype, Opera. you mean, only office and web browsing? I have adobe products in my Windows, can't I use them? it seems Ubuntu has very few programs. :( 3
no you can't use them , you will need to find free and open source alternative. Photoshop=Gimp , Dreamweaver=BlueFish Editor , Premiere=PiTiVi, Illustrator=Inkscape .... 1
Dreamweaver CS3 works fine under wine (first hand), some versions of photoshop do too. I'd do a test drive to see if they run under Wine before giving up. Install wine and then install the application using the .exe file like you would in windows and it will install like in windows. I only ever found I got some slight graphical glitches now and again. Check the wine compatibility list. yes but problem is that you can't run original , and that makes you pirate. :) oh. thanks for the info. @Ivan: you mean, Wine is illegal? and why would it be wrong if I install my legal copy on my own machine? only there's a different OS? Wine is not illegal. It is only illegal if you are under the age of 18--- if you are running a pirated copy of a program. You can install any Adobe products through Wine if you have the CD key and have a legitimate license. cut the joke man, i didn't understand a thing. lol. and clarify it please. you mean, wine's illegal only if you have an illegal copy of wine? or does wine bypass the authenticating measures of a program that's why it's illegal? and is wine only for adobe? 1
NOOOO, wine is piece of Open source software which allows you to run some software from windows on linux. and please @Hugo, if you manage to install original copy of Adobe CS3 or later on Linux then you have to show me that. :)
