wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareEquivalents

[Mehdi Hassanpour]

Hi Jon,

Nice work! . I think as all these pages belong to one title
"SoftwareEquivalents", it's better to have each section as a wiki
sub-page...
I added some more software to Internet page and would like to start an
Office page, let me know if you agree with creating sub-pages...

Bests
