Hi
Just wondered if we could between us come up with a new column for
Linux
to go with this table to produce a comparison between Linux and
windows
7, this may help members who want to argue for Linux.
for example catagories for
remote desktop - yes (esp if you include the command line)
encrypting file system - i guess yes again
but for each of the catagories.
This is NOT about bashing microsoft, i want to make a fair
comparison of
features, aero = compiz for example. yes it may be pointless eye
candy
but it's eye candy all the same, so we can include it.
lets make a table up, and see if we can help people make
comparisons, so
if a windows user cites a certain feature we can at least suggest a
similar feature under Linux

I'd say Anti-Virus = ClamScan (or AVG for Linux even).Also where you mention Deaw, Impress etc, I'd say put OpenOffice in front of it otherwise some people might not know what they are. I could also suggest Dia for Flowcharting.
