markwolfe Veteran Posted August 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 3, 2004 It was suggested that a thread be started to help people new to Linux find apps. I'll start the ball rolling with a couple of resources: http://sourceforge.net/ and http://freshmeat.net/ If anyone is looking for something specific and cannot find a solution, this would be a good place to post your question and get some answers.

Tek Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 If you want Slackware packages you can get them from http://www.linuxpackages.net/ http://www.rpmfind.net/ if you want RPMs. http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages for Debian packages. You should be able to find pretty much any package in any format on http://www.tuxfinder.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tek Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 I think this post should be pinned at the top of Open Source OS Discussion, it will probably get a lot more view there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted August 8, 2004 Author Veteran Share Posted August 8, 2004 I think that I very much agree with you. The whole "HOWTO & FAQ" section is like a dark, musty bookshelf in the far corner of the library. Good stuff is there, but no one visits... :unsure: * moved into the light * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just added # mplayer and other multimedia stuff deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main to the repositories and came up with 509 updates? 229MB's!! Alot of them have familiar names (I'm a 1 month old Ubuntu nOOb), but, holy cow!! How in the world do I know what I need? I have Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog 5.04 (the free version they sent out free cd's for)? I did update with all the default repositories immediately after figuring out how to do that. Edit: I just did a double look and seen that alot of the places added to the repositiries were unstable ones. I removed those, which only left a few new ones. Reloaded list and had NO updates available. That looks better. I think!! :blush: Edited November 7, 2005 by cork1958 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3xis Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 hmm, i'm needing an html editor that supports FTP...something like macromedia dreamweaver. is there such a thing or am i going to have to have 2 seperate apps to do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaNcom Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 h3xis, there's Nvu [1] and Quanta+ [2], both have FTP integration (Quanta+ also has WebDAV, sftp and ssh/ scp, courtesy of KDEs KIO architecture). Nvu is more like Dreamweaver, while Quanta+ is more targeted at professional users (integrated PHP autocompletion and debugger, stuff like that). Quanta+ is also not exactly WYSIWYG, it has a similar feature called VPL (visual page layout), some sort of preview, updated in realtime as you code, that also allows to jump to specific parts of the code by selecting it from the preview.
