Commercial Links

This section is for unsorted things that might come in handy one day.

Good Links

This section is for projects that are indirectly helping the cause of End-User Linux, either by making Linux easier to develop or by giving commercial software vendors pressure to port commercial programs to Linux.

• FreeHDL: a project to develop a free, open source, GPL'ed VHDL simulator for Linux.
• gEDA: GNU Electronic Design Automation. It's a collection of tools which are used to make electrical circuit design, simulation and prototyping/production easier.
• FreeCASE: A free team-oriented tool for object oriented analysis and design.
• vmailer
• The Casbah Project

Useful Projects

This section is for applications that are designed to be intuitive and easy to use (ideally "productivity applications"). Go look here for another page listing end-user apps.

• WXftp: GUI FTP client for X. Its license still leaves something to be desired, but it looks like a pretty convenient little utility.

End-User Apps

This is where good commercial apps are listed. This section will mark our progress (heh).

• A list of business links
• Star Office
• Applixware
• CyberScheduler

Commercial Apps

This is for links that I just couldn't pass up writing down. I don't want to lose these. They will probably come in handy to other people too.

• Linux life (links)
• Linux Programmer's Bouncepoint
• List of Industry Standards
