@raabo: will you include a Linux section permanantly?it is a humble request :)
Click to expand...

I would like a content browser for Linux.

I've only got an Ubuntu (Linux) system. I do not own Windows.

The current state is that I have to open the disc, and hunt for the Linux content on it. Also, a lot of stuff on the disc like movies and music sometimes does not make any sense by just looking at the file names. File names like UjFii.avi or something like Opu_jug.mp3 (both are imaginary file names) do not help in knowing what it is.

The content browser you have for Windows gives description of everything and links to stuff.

Maybe you could develop a small GTK+ based content browser for Linux.

Just a suggestion.

PS: I think I read somewhere in the magazine a few months ago that you were working on a content browser for Linux, but I haven't heard anything about it since then.

EDIT: A temporary thing while the Linux content browser is in development could be that you could include little text documents in every directory with the file names and descriptions of what they are. These descriptions can be direct copy-paste of what's written in the Windows flash based content browser that you have on the DVD.

@Sukarn: very good suggestion!I think they can make such a interface for sure!.just search for /etc/version file or someother common files in Linux to open Linux interactive!while for windows you need not have to do anything extra :p

PS: I hope such a content browser will work in OS X too :confused: :?:

I would be happy with some of the best freewares except those which you have provided till now. Some new ones would suffice.

I'm using Opera 9.50 on Ubuntu (x86_64 build), but if you're going to include Firefox 3.0 (as suggested earlier in this thread) then please include Opera 9.50 as well.
It would benifit other users.
