moin, moin,
I'm putting together info on what Free Software we want to support on m$.
I haven't a clue as to what works well on m$ platforms. Heck, I don't even
use most of this vile and evil GUI stuff on Free Software platforms :).
I was pitching Evolution, but am told it ain't ready for prime time on m$
boxen. Does anyone know where the eXpunge plugin stands for m$ version of
Evolution?
My current list is:
OpenOffice as an office suite. It has a word processor, spreadsheet program,
basic drawing program, and presentation program.
Mozilla as a web browser and email client.
The GIMP as a graphics program.
Apache is the world's most popular web server.
Databases such as MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Popular development languages such as PHP, Perl and Python.
Anything else that should be listed? Any of that that should be left out?
Are we going to be able to support installing those on m$ boxen at IF2?
Any worthwhile games?
ciao,
der.hans
