• rpm/apt-get/synaptic: I use rpm because I have a rpm based system(Suse) but since apt4rpm is available for suse, I rarely use rpm, but apt and synaptic instead
  
• streaming audio, kaffeine, vlc, xine: I mostly use kaffeine for all kind of video (mpeg, streams..). The real cool multimedia stuff is behind the GUI and available for Suse thanks to packman
  
• skype, kphone, gnomemeeting: I don't do much voip even if I have an sigate account. Independent of the application, I have sound problems using voip under Linux. X-Lite runs also well for me using wine.
  
• kword, OpenOffice: I use OpenOffice mostly for text writing. I use kword for small text and when I have to write something quickly (the PDF import is cool)
  
• Freemind, scribus: I use freemind for personal stuff, only tested scribus quickly
  
• digikam, gqview (ACDSee for linux): don't use dikigam as I lost my camera connect cable. I put the CF card into my PC and read images from it. For image viewing, I use pixie and gwenview
  
• gimp, kpaint: gimp is complicated but powerfull, never tested kpaint so far
  
• mozilla: I use konqueror and firefox instead, mozilla only for as HTML editor
  
• evolution: I prefer kontact
  
• kopete, gaim: I only use kvirc for irc. Kopete is not very intuitive.
  
• wine, codevewaer: you must be very lucky if an application runs under wine. Codeveawer is much simplier and better (but I lost my license key, incredible how many things I lost)
  

• kate as universal text editor
  
• kooka for scanning
  
• eclipse for development
  
• audacity for sound editing
  
• JAlbum for photo album generation
  
• Azureus for file sharing (because most legal file sharing is with bittorrent)
  

• Administration:SLES wins because of yast, but also because it still allows 'manual' (command line) configuration -> transparency
  
• Remote administration: SLES9 wins, because it offer VNC, X and ssh
  
• User and computer administration: W2003 wins, because of LDAP (active directory) being single configuration location. SLES requires LDAP+Samba. I'm sure Novel (directory inventor) will solve this soon
  
• Performance: SLES9 wins. Double performance than W2003.
  
• Compatibility: W2003 wins because most of the software out there is still for Windows (specially MS Software like active directory, Exchange, MS SQL, ...)
  
• Princing: SLES wins. SLES9 is 1/3 of W2003 price. In addition, SLES9 doesn't have client licensing.
  

• CapiInfo: display manufacturer, serial number and version
  
• CapiCall: information about incoming calls
  
• CapiTrace: trace capi events
  
• DTMFdump: accept calls and dump DTMF signals
  

Which File Extension are You?

• Platform independent: I use Windows at work and Linux at home
  
• Plugin's: easy installation and actualization of dictionaries
  
• free: LGPL
  

   String helloWorld = "Hello new World" ;

   String newHelloWorld = helloWorld.substring(6,9);

• helloWorld:
  
  
  
  • count = 15
    
  • offset = 0
    
  • value = char[15] = "Hello new World"
    
  
  
• newHelloWorld
  
  
  
  • count = 3
    
  • offset = 6
    
  • value = char[15] = "Hello new World"
    
  
  

   new String(offset + beginIndex, endIndex - beginIndex, value);

   this.value = value;

   this.offset = offset;

   this.count = count;

• Add libParallel.so and libSerial.so to your library path (or put them in ./jre/lib/i386/) and
  
• add jcl.jar to your classpath (or put it into ./jre/lib/ext/).
  
• Then download Java Comm for Solaris, put the jar file to your classpath and
  
• change the driver loaded by Java Comm API to "Driver=gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver".
