In reading your pages I thought about many things (I don't know if it's really important, but maybe some could be improvments): -Check the names of packages, from a 4.6-STABLE: pkg_add -rv linux-netscape6 pkg_add -rv AbiWord fail. Browser section: -Maybe you could tell that Opera is a commercial app :) and give the link to their website. -What about adding a little sentence giving name of light browsers like dillo, w3m and links...? Productivity section: -OpenOffice should replace StarOffice6, packages are available in many languages etc... -Maybe Koffice has his place in the section, as some apps like gnumeric, gnucash... -Maybe something about graphics apps like The Gimp for bitmaps and sketch, sodipodi and xfig for vectors could be interesting too Viewers, players section: -Tell what acroread version pkg_add installs -xpdf is a light and efficient pdf viewer too -You could add a link to video players section of multimedia chapter and to mp3 section in the same chapter. -What about adding some images viewers like gqview, xzgv etc...? Perhaps one thing is missing: the mail applications: sylpheed, evolution etc... Nowadays people can't think about a computer without thinking about sending mails :) I'm sure you already thought about most of my remarks. In fact I have only one word to say: "Continue!" :)) Good luck, Marc To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
