Chris Wilson Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Further to my post the other day regarding a simple to run Linux app I got Knoppix working first go, but Ubunto stalled without even installing from CD. If I want to go further my main needs are an e-mail app. I use The Bat! (http://www.ritlabs.com). I NEED full isual threading of messages, and colourization of messages based on an excellent filter system, plus temlates to enable often used replies to be kept in template form. I don't need IMAP, just POP3. I need a similarly threaded news reader, I use Dialog unders Windows (http://www.40tude.com/dialog) I am happy with Firefox as a browswr. Other needs are decent cd and dvd writer package, and a means of transferring images from my Sony camera to hard drive. Any recommendations please?

SBDJ Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Good GUI email packages are IMHO Mozilla Thunderbird, KMail and evolution. Newsreaders I'm not sure about since I use nzb files, but I've used Pan in the past. Thunderbird also has news functionality I believe. CD/DVD Burners would be K3B and Nero, and the image transfer is usually handled by a kernel module and the desktop environment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
