Oh i just cannot miss this one . Guys in gentoo there is a way to find out all software available by using a string / part of string as a search. The local reposatory is searched and the results given to you. e.g. you want to know what are the various terminal available so all you say is
emerge -s term

thats all the list of available terminals along witha brief description is available to you.

That list is of course not complete and is getting big each and every day. And if you think any software is missing/need update in that list feel free to email your information to info at linuxjunkies dot org . We need your active support to continue with this list.

We will include that to the list with due acknowledgement. Please send the information in following format along with your name.

1. software name & version 2. Category 3. d/l link 4. homepage

Thanks

tuxfan is right here keeping a watch on the thread and getting informed :)

Frankly speaking, firewall has made such a comprehensive list that no one ever needs to go anywhere else for alternatives.

*home.online.no/~osmoma/linux link jungle
This has got a lot of information on linux in general. It has a very cluttered interface. It has got a very wide range of important linux links. Though, navigating thru it is like navigating thru a jungle( the name says it all).

It contains quite a long list of open source alternatives for commercial softwares. It's also organised in a nice way and is more descriptive than others I have seen so far.

infrared_dude has suggested a software for managing(calls, sms, files) Sony Ericsson phones...just like MyPhoneExplorer s/w. But I seem to forgot where he posted.
Please give the name and I will search in Synaptic.
