Getting to Know Linux Software
Linux comes with a wealth of applications, often offering more than one solution to specific needs.
The difficulty is finding the application that suits your needs best. The next few sections introduce
some of the most powerful Linux counterparts of common Windows software. Each section is
dedicated to one particular field of application and presents an overview of the Windows
applications and Linux equivalents for several tasks. Below each table, find further information
about the Linux applications with links to more information. This list is by no means complete,
because software development is an evolutionary process and new applications are being created
every minute.
TIP:
Missing Applications
Not all applications mentioned below are installed on your system by default and some may not be
shipped with your product. If the application you want to use is missing, ask your system
administrator. If the application is provided by your product, you can install it with YaST. Use the
search function of the YaST software management tool to find the package names.
A.1 Office
This section features the most popular and powerful Linux office and business software solutions.
