When you get a chance, post the list of programs which you must use, and
we can put our collective heads together to see if there are good
alternatives available on Ubuntu.  Here are some of my efforts on the

You might also be interested in some of the points in this page, as they

It's far better to keep the messages on-list, so that everyone can
