What kind of programs would you like to see for Ami...

Hi All,

I just wanted to ask what kind of programs would you like to see on you amiga (any).

My list:

www browser (like Firefox in sense of quality),
office (in sense of usability... I really need power point!!!
skype...

The rest would be hardware support but this is different story, since Linux suffer the same... but how many people use it.

Do you know some replacements for this what I wrote, I'm asking since my ami was resting for a "while" and now is coming back :).

Thats not only your list.
These would go a long ways.
Firefox
OpenOffice

@Kreciu

A fully functional JVM, 1.5 or better. (JAVA)

@Kreciu

An uptodate SDK.

Video editing would be the big need for me. An office suite with Open Document support would be nice (certainly doesn't have to be OO.org itself though). Abiword under X11 is a very good move in the right direction though.

If you want to create presentations, that can be achieved with Hollywood and then run under UAE on Windows/Linux and PPT are now becoming accessible thanks to PointRider.

What hardware do you have that won't work under Linux?

@yoodoo2

I know the list could be long (I should make a survey), which programs are needed RIGHT NOW ;).

I would say that:

Firefox and,
OpenOffice would give A LOT more live for ANY Amiga. Since we had a lot of "funny" programs which works VERY well.

And one think, this DON'T have to be Firefox and OpenOffice it self but who will write this kind of programs... nobody.

How many of you could BUY good web browser, office software? I think there are people who could easily BUY it. I would for like $150, BUT functionality should be good...

About my linuks I'm using PC... so I don't know you want to listen about my config? ;). My PC it's to new for Linux :(, after loading kernel (from CD), computer doesn't see the CD-rom any more :(... (nothing help... maybe you :)...

And this is good example what can you do with hardware when you don't have software NOTHING, even if it has 27000 MIPS ;). I so happy and grateful for people who create any (software and harware) for amiga...

I have no any idea about programing (no maybe BASIC ;) )... is it really soooo hard to write a good browser for amiga... (this is for me MAIN problem)... since when I would like to show Workbench (even on UAE) so people ask, what about www... and that I can show them... NOTHING (since Ibrowse, Voyager, AWeb... are basically DEAD... good that this forum is "supported" ;), and how long we spend browsing :D.

Today we use www for email, youtube, java games ;), forums, to shop, to order and pay for something

The nice thing about Linux is that support for new hardware doesn't take long to appear. What distro and version are you using?

I'm sure that if you started a new thread under Free For All, you'd get some replies. You are welcome to pm me about Linux help if you wish.

Well, except for the java games, I can doall ofthose from IBrowse or AWeb.

With a little good luck, we should be seeing Sputnik (a KHTML-based browser for MorphOS) on OS4 before the end of the year.

@yoodoo2

The nice thing about Linux is that it contains Open Source drivers so we can write nice drivers based on those

A decent FTP client
