In case you are not aware, and for the benefit of other readers who are
not aware, there are two web sites which you would find useful when this
type of question arises, which suggest GNU/Linux program equivalent to
Micro$loth Windoze software --


The Linux Alternative Project at <http://www.linuxalt.COM/>

Linux AppFinder at <http://linuxappfinder.COM/alternatives>


May I suggest that those who think these may be useful add them
to their bookmarks in their preferred web browser ;)

The one a lot of Cisco types use is Putty , it is available in both windows
and Linux. And of course it is free on both platforms.

The excellent ssh support is particularly useful when connecting to Internet
facing routers

You can do pretty much everything you need to do on Cisco kit with it except
TFTP FTP

It is nice to see old hands helping newbies.

Same here. I thought it was a modem program.

And LaTex is there too, mostly as the "MikTex" implementation (we're
using that here on our W-XP systems).

PS: the M$ "package" for Apache is often called WAMP (Windows Apache,
MySql & PHP), just like the Linux one is abbreviated as LAMP.
