Trillian


Gibt es Trillian auch für Linux oder MacOS?

Nein, derzeit gibt es Trillian nur für Windows. Unter Linux gibt es die Möglichkeit, das Crossover Plugin zu verwenden, das auf einer angepassten Version des Windows-Emulators Wine beruht. Nähere Informationen dazu bei Codeweavers: Crossover Trillian. Einen Erfahrungsbericht gibt es hier.

Official no, but there is a crossover plugin. klick (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/supported_plugins.php?id=trillian)
But you can also use GAIM, which is on the knoppix cd.

Opera
klick (http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/index.dml?platform=linux)

LimeWire
klick (http://www.limewire.com/english/content/downloadfree2.shtml) or klick (http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftLinux)

Intervideo
Intervideo DVD works only in Windows 2000 or XP

DivX
klick (german) (http://www.pro-linux.de/berichte/divx.html) or klick (http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divxcodec_linux.html)

Ventrilo
is not available for linux. It's currently in development.

AOL
What AOL oO?

AutoGK
Nope. But you can look @ this klick (http://ubuntuguide.org/#dvdrip)

IE
Are you serious? Use firefox instead. klick (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html)

Winamp
There is no version for Linux, but you can use the XMMS, which is on the knoppix cd provided.

Yeah i dont even know why i put ie, ie is pretty gay, i usualy use Firefox or Opera.

[The_Patient]

If you have problems to install the programs then report it here :)

Yup, I don't like IE either...

[Aspra]

i downloaded opera but it wont start installing.

[regnu_me1010]

AOL- WHY?

Opera for unix/liux is in development

IE- Microsoft rubbish

Winamp- Kicks the lamas a** however better programss on the Cd/DVD as The_Patient says

[Aspra]

i downloaded the linux version of opera but when it was done i tried opening it and it never did.

[The_Patient]

Ok, i've looked for the Opera-installation. There is no support for Knoppix.
So you can only use Firefox for Linux or you can try the Debian-version of Opera.
