This list of Linux equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software is based on our own experience and on the information obtained from the visitors of this page on English, Russian, Italian, Spanish, French & German.

Linux : Howtos : How to get widescreen resolution in Linux?
Posted: ( Sat 1st Jul 2006 05:26:07[PM] UTC )
If you own a laptop with widescreen resolution such as 1280x768, 1280x800 or with a high resolution such as 1400x1050, you might have encountered that problem. XWindow shows up in 1024x768, and it doesn't fill the entire width of the screen. If your laptop's graphic card is an Intel 800 or 900 series (Intel 845G, 855G, 865G, 915G, 915GM, and 945G), there is a very easy solution to fix this.

Linux : Opinions : Linux and NTFS: peace at last?
Posted: ( Tue 13th Sep 2005 04:52:59[PM] UTC )
Reading from NTFS file systems wasn't too much trouble. Writing to a file or creating a new file, though, was something else again. And, trying to adjust the size of an NTFS partition or recover a dead file was, while not impossible, hard enough that few people wanted to try it. Now, however, Paragon Software Group has created its own NTFS driver: NTFS for Linux. And, from what my friends over at PC Magazine Labs can tell, it works pretty darn well.
