Linux Windows Equivalent Programs

There are some key applications I use in my Windows system that will need to be matched with Linux equivalent. Here is the results of my studies to date, note I am only listing programs of interest to me.

Common - versions for both Linux and Windows

1. OpenOffice (Opensource Office Suite - so good I did not install MS Office on new PC)
   
2. Picasa photo viewer and entry editor
   
3. Firefox web browser
4. GIMP - Photoshop type program - currently getting to grips with this
   

Web based available to both Linux and Windows

1. Googlemail
2. Google "Office"
   

Windows - Linux equivalent

1. NotepadPro editor and HTML builder
   -> KATE as editor QUANTA PLUS as HTML builder
   
   
2. Photoshop Elements (mainly used to catalogue my photos currently 16,000+)
   -> F-Spot Great news is that if you save Tag information to file in PSE then when you Import into F-Spot the Tag information is automatically loaded.
   
   

Applications still to be resolved
