About Specific Packages Mentioned


Examples of different types of application software will be briefly described. This is of course only a small sampling of the available UNIX application software, and the inclusion of a particular package is neither an endorsement nor a guarantee of that package. There are a number of references in the section “How to Find Out More” at the end of this chapter that should be useful to find additional applications software.

Furthermore, the descriptions of these packages are not complete, and important features may not be mentioned. Interested readers should contact vendors or go to the web sites that are provided directly for comprehensive descriptions of features.

Almost all of these applications provide sample screenshots on their web sites, so they will not be reproduced in this chapter in order to save space. Also note also that there is a wide range of applications, both built-in and downloadable from web sites, available for Linux on the GNOME and KDE desktops that were previously discussed in Chapters 6 and 7. For space considerations, these applications will not be repeated in this chapter. For GNOME applications, see the web page at http://www.gnome.org/, and for KDE applications, see http://www.kde.org/.
