Have you ever used Encarta? I must say, it was one of just about two good things done (1: SideWinder gaming hardware; 2: Encarta Encyclopedia). It had a very basic interface; based on dark colors, right angles, and solid fill/no gradients; kind of like a black Fluxbox theme. Everything tied together, with links to other articles right in the text, built-in-dictionary, animations, and media things like video time lines, and knowledge-quest things to get you reading! Actually, a lot of it does sound like Wikipedia... But, like Wikipedia as a program, with a bit more 'programmy' feel; not just a Website. The other thing about it: it had great content and function, all available offline. But yeah, I bet it will work in WINE. <div>On 5/14/07, NoOp <<a href="mailto:glgxg@mfire.com">glgxg@mfire.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 05/14/2007 02:53 PM, Cesar Augusto Suarez wrote: > In Windows World, there are an encyclopedia named "Microsoft Encarta" its very useful especially for my kids. > Im asking if there are something like it on Linux World > Have you tried installing Encarta via WINE? It's an old enough MS program that it probably will work. -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
