They have to meet Debian's exacting quality standards. They range
from CAD packages to DAWs, web browsers to office suites. The scope is
unlimited.

Free CAD and DAW? Where do I sign - I need replacements for Inventor,
Solidworks and Logic, I need an office suite that will integrate with
Exchange, SQL and Oracle servers. I also need to be able to communicate and
collaborate with users of the aforementioned packages.

Many Linux users are somewhat detached from the real world.

o The current release is 5.10. The next release is 6.04 which should
be released in June, but you can install it now and "ride the wave" of
development. A development version of Ubuntu is likely to be very
usable this close to release, so you might want to consider diving
straight in with this. http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight6

"ride the wave of development" - no thanks, I just like my DAW to work, all
day every day. Oh, have you got any broadcast (SD will do my stuff only goes
on the low bandwidth sky channels) acceptable NLE software?

o As with Debian, you can upgrade the OS and applications when a new
version is released without needing any media. It's all downloadable,
as are security fixes.

Hey - just like Windows and OSX.


o In my opinion, GNOME is sleeker and classier, and KDE is more
flashy, and configurable. KDE contains an application called amarok
which you might be interested in. You'll really have to try them
both as they are chalk and cheese.

It should have an application called Anorak.

I could write a book. There's a thought. Let me know if you want any
more info, preferably via email as Usenet is taking up a lot of time
lately and I might take a break for a few days.

Takes as long to write an email as it does to post on usenet. Well it does
on my windows computer anyway. My Linux one is too busy being crap.
