      Hey guys :)

      slowly getting my desktop backup (which is why the ftp is down) and in doing so I have loaded Redhat 8.

      I am no stranger to linux as the OS on a server but as the os on my personal machine I am.

      What software would some of you guys recommend?

      few specific things I am looking for to make me feel more @ home….
      – A news reader than can handle YENC posts and binaries
      – Video capturing/editing software
      – TV decoder for my allinwonder card
      – good audio editing software
      – good graphic editing software
      – par file utility
      – a decent ftp client
      – a decent ftp server where I can set up group accts and such (or help in doing so)

      Anyone? :P

        disc 3 has some audio mp3 programs. also search redhat.com for a ton of ftp client/server rpms. pan.0.13.0-2 will do your news reading…. i’ll ask some gurus at work about the rest and get back to you dude

          cool :)

          Thanks Anthony :)

          What CD Burning software do you recommend? (24x8x40 burner)
          would be a plus if I could still make vcd/svcd disks with it

            x-CD Roast works well. it comes stock.
            cdparanoia is a somewhat decent mp3 ripper

            there is a command line burner:
            cdrecord
            but i never got it to work.

            which x are you using, gnome, kde ?

              my linux is dual boot with windoz, the best burning i know is NT based.

                – A news reader than can handle YENC posts and binaries (yenc?) Mozzilla for newsreader
                – Video capturing/editing software (no idea)
                – TV decoder for my allinwonder card (no idea)
                – good audio editing software (not sure, lots of audio ports)
                – good graphic editing software (Gimp, its like Photoshop)
                – par file utility (eh?, archiver?, try parchive)
                – a decent ftp client (NCFTP)
                – a decent ftp server where I can set up group accts and such (or help in doing so) (Pure-FTP)
                ~~
                I use FreeBSD and there is a Ports Collections with just tons of stuff, you should use FBSD ;)
