ComputersHello again, this is the computer section (as you may have guessed) which will provide information on windows & linux operating systems.
in the future i intend to get my hands on mac osx and have a play with that and eventually having a full fledged section for apple's system! Until the site is completely up and running, remember, google is your friend. Ubuntu Windows XP windows 7 Useful All platform appsDropbox: an online storage option, useful for transferring files between computers or to ensure you always have the most up to date form of the file.
Libreoffice: a branch of openoffice, it offers more features than its cousin. a great, free alternative to microsoft word. it can handle all MS office file extensions so there are no compatibility issues. Firefox: a great browser, uses very little RAM and is relatively secure. Virtualbox: an emulation program which lets you install an OS within another OS, useful for experimenting or using software native to that OS (recommended for systems with at least 2GB of ram). GIMP: don't the name fool you, this app is essentially a free version of photoshop and is just as good (granted there are fewer features but the price is right). |
