    Re: What do u miss in Linux

    i only use windows for ms-office. exchangeing documents is not perfect from openoffice. nevertheless i get better and better in avoiding ms-office

    i must admit i use kde. one of the major reasons is the availability of applications in kde.

    applications i use:
    - amarok leaves itunes way behind. it has ipod synchrinisation, wikipedia integration, lyrics lookup, etc.
    - i like k3b much more than nero
    - digikam for my digital camera / photo albums
    - krita & the gimp for 'photoshopping'. maybe not a real replacement, but i can do anything i need to do.
    - inkscape for vector drawings
    - audacity for audio stuff
    - battle for wesnoth is a great strategy game. it doesn't look very good, but the gameplay is fantastic!

    I miss absolutley nothing. I used to miss iTunes, but have recentley perfected a complicated solution. Sure, I'd like the simplicity of iTunes, but am fairly happy battling on.

    The one and only thing that linux/ubuntu lacks is good games. With most other software there are alternatives but I want to play some goodlooking games.. and preferably every now and then something else than a FPS (altho true combat elite is quite nice)...

    Peer review, IMO. Also, superior security in many ways certainly helps (not perfect, but superior)

    actually it's users permissions.

    windows was never designed for stuff like the internet. unix was designed as a multi-user environment from the beginning. long before the internet, unix computers could be accessed from workstations on university networks.

    Also linux has a build in firewall, iptables, but it very basic packet filtering. And, in theory, because of the open source model security holes can be fixed really fast.

    Re: What do u miss in Linux

    I miss (although not that much because I still have XP on a dual boot ):

    - Dreamweaver
    - WAMP server (super easy web server package)
    - Photoshop
    - Premiere
    - Knowing that practically any hardware/peripherals I buy will work, at least with an included driver cd, this is the most annoying thing for me right now...
