FREE Linux Mint CDROMs, in Central Florida

"> 
Here is your FREE  Linux Mint Live CD, from Patrick Berry, ( pberry2@gmail.com ), a retired USAF
Electronics Systems Technician, computer sciences educator,  an advocate for liberty, and the freedom to
use technology for personal development, prosperity, and achievement.     Linux Mint BOOTS LIVE in the CD; OR, runs in a Windows Folder; OR, installs as a second Operating
System (OS) in any Windows PC; OR, installs as the sole OS on any computer!  
To run Linux Mint 'Live', simply put this CD into your computer CDROM tray, and re-boot!  *  What is Linux Mint?  Linux Mint is a free Linux-based PARALLEL processing operating system for
desktop computers. It is based on, and compatible with, the free operating system called Ubuntu (which is
based on another operating system, Debian). This allows Linux Mint to take advantage of the large amount
of software  including some 32,960+  applications, software suites, and educational games for all students,
pre-K through College!   *  Linux Mint is suitable for homes, governments, businesses, charities, schools!  Includes free user support
from the huge Linux community!  *   Linux Mint is secure on the Internet, and on all networks!  Linux Mint contains the secure SELinux
program, written by the National Security Agency(NSA), and also is totally immune to all
million+ Microsoft Virus/mal-ware bots/exploits.   Also, as a clone of Unix, the file system is designed for
fast, efficient, concurrent parallel processing, and very safe file handling for multiple users,   
Visit http://linuxmint.com for the entire story!  *  Linux Mint is suitable for individuals!  We believe Linux is the best operating system. There are more
than 452 active Linux distributions, and we're working hard at becoming the best solution for your desktop.  If your computer is a PC with 512MB RAM, try Linux Mint and see what you think about it.  Are you running Microsoft Windows XP, (now approaching being a decade old)?  Modernize, speed up,
that old computer,  with Linux Mint! *   More distributions for different roles:     * This Main Edition is our flagship release. Released as a CD-ROM image, it provides full multimedia
support out of the box, meaning that you can listen to MP3's, play DVD movies, and enjoy Flash on the
Internet!  Play games on Nick Jr, Disney, Nickelodeon!  CD Includes 438 full applications!     * The Universal DVD Edition is designed to support languages that do not fit on the CD.   This can be
freely distributed in countries which allow software patents (such as the United States and Japan) and
provides a boot loader that works on systems that don't support the graphical loader of the Main Edition.      * The x64 Edition is functionally identical to the Main Edition, except that it supports 64-bit technology.
This means it is not limited to using 4GB of RAM. Even if your computer supports 64-bit, we recommend
that you use the Main Edition unless you know that you have more than 4GB of RAM, since 64-bit doesn't
 provide any other advantages.     * The KDE Community Edition is a version of Linux Mint built on the popular KDE desktop.  All
processes run up to 200 times faster than Microsoft XP!     * The XFCE Community Edition is built on the lightweight and modular XFCE desktop. Lightweight so,
 it loads faster than the versions using KDE! *   Design Structure of Linux -  Created by Linus Torvalds while a student in 1991, at Helsinki University,
 Linux is a parallel processing, multi-user, multi-processing, multi-processor  system.  Endorsed for All Intel
 and AMD products, as the most efficient OS!   All Microsoft's update services run on 15,000 Akamai
Linux Internet Servers, for protection and stability.  All 400 of Microsoft's internal corporate firewall routers
 are Aruba Linux systems!  Hotmail and MSN have always run on another 13,500 Linux servers, for high
 speeds, and immunity from the million Microsoft Virus!  Dell, HP, Compaq, System 86, sells many desktop,
 laptop, server models with Linux pre-installed!  NOAA topographical maps and Satellite composites  seen
 on  the Weather Channel, and most TV broadcasts,  are rendered in Linux! All movies since
“Titanic – 1997” are rendered in the GIMP on Linux! Over 76% of ALL Internet Servers run GNU/Linux!
Google, FaceBook, YouTube, MySpace, Twitter, Reuters News Services, and others, are Linux!   Join the
millions of us!   We welcome you!  Technology professionals, in governments,  Universities, the “Fortune 1,000 Corporations”,  Wall Street, and, the 50 state Boards of Education,  develop, and fully endorse Free Open Source Software, of which  Linux Mint is only 1 of 315 Free Live  OSes at http://livecdlist.com  http://distrowatch.com http://linux.org  http://cheapbytes.com!

Tables of Equivalents

Here it it, a table of Open Source programs to replace proprietary and closed source ones.

So, who owns YOUR data? http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html

The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux.
Last update: 16.07.2003, 31.01.2005, 27.05.2005, 04.12.2006

You can always find the last version of this table on the official site:
http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/.

This page on other languages: Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Hungarian, Chinese.

One of the biggest difficulties in migrating from Windows to Linux is the lack of knowledge about comparable software. Newbies usually search for Linux analogs of Windows software, and advanced Linux-users cannot answer their questions since they often don't know too much about Windows :). This list of Linux equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software is based on our own experience and on the information obtained from the visitors of this page (thanks!).

This table is not static since new application names can be added to both left and the right sides. Also, the right column for a particular class of applications may not be filled immediately. In future, we plan to migrate this table to the PHP/MySQL engine, so visitors could add the program themselves, vote for analogs, add comments, etc.

If you want to add a program to the table, send mail to winlintable[a]linuxrsp.ru with the name of the program, the OS, the description (the purpose of the program, etc), and a link to the official site of the program (if you know it). All comments, remarks, corrections, offers and bugreports are welcome - send them to winlintable[a]linuxrsp.ru.

Notes:
1) By default all Linux programs in this table are free as in freedom. (Definitions of Free Software: FSF and Debian). Proprietary software for Linux is marked with the sign [Prop]. Non-free software (open source or relatively free, but have certain restrictive limits) is marked with the sign [NF].
2) If there is nothing in the field of the table, except "???" - the authors of the table do not know what to place there.
3) If the sign (???) stands after the name of the program - the authors of the table are not sure about this program.

The important ideological difference between Windows and Linux:
The majority of the Windows programs are made on principle "all-in-one" (each developer adds everything to his or her product). In the same way, this principle is called the "Windows-way".
The ideology of UNIX/Linux - one component or one program must execute only one task, but execute it well. ("UNIX-way"). The programs under Linux can be thought of as being like the LEGO building blocks. (for instance, if there is a program for spell checking, it can be used with the text editor or email client; or if there is the powerful command-line program for files downloading, it is simple to write the graphic interface (Front-end) for it, etc).
This principle is very important and it is necessary to know it while searching for analogs of Windows-programs in Linux :).

You can read more about it in the book "Linux and the Unix Philosophy". There is a chapter in the book that specifically addresses philosophical differences between Windows and Linux.

Attention! There may be many mistakes and bugs in the table!! (report about the bugs).

For those who interested more in Windows-software:
1) The "Windows" row in this table is not main. That's why it does not contains _absolutely_ all of existing software - only the best and popular programs.
2) Many of the Linux programs can be run on Windows - with CygWin and other Linux emulators.

Places where you can get Linux software:
FreshMeat.net | SourceForge.net - Two biggest portals. You can find everything you want!!
LinuxApps.com | IceWalkers.com | Linux.Tucows.com - I like these catalogs.
Download.com / Linux | LinuxSoftware.org | FileWatcher.org | LinuxArchives.com - other catalogs.
Programs / packages / libraries search systems: RPMseek.org | Tuxfinder.com | RPMfind.net

Programs and games for Windows, that can be run under Wine/WineX:
1) The official catalog of Windows apps, running under Wine. (from Codeweavers). There are already more than 1000 applications in the database, so the catalog is structured and has a navigation system.
2) The official list of Windows games, that can be run under WineX (fromTransgaming). This is a search form, and this is a full list of games (very big!).
