Linux Equivalents To Things You Do In Windows
You’ve heard time and time again from Linux fans that "Linux can do anything Windows can do". Is this true? Yes. However what the Linux fans usually don’t mention is how to do the stuff you do in Windows in Linux.
Bear in mind that "equivalent" in this context is a subjective term, because more often than not the apps you use in Linux to do what you do in Windows usually have more features.
Also bear in mind that the apps listed here are all available from Add/Remove in Ubuntu if you use that particular distro, so they’re really easy to get and install.
MSN / Windows Live Messenger
The Windows way: Windows Live Messenger
The Linux way: aMSN
aMSN does just about everything the standard Windows Live Messenger does. And yes it’s also a really good Hotmail notifier (for notification of new e-mails). In addition, aMSN has a Windows version so if you want to try it out on Windows, you can. And when you use it in Linux, it looks and acts exactly the same as the Windows version.
