I wondered if there is a website that has a list of Windows programs, that work on Linux through the "WINE" app, ......
and/or
a list of alternative Linux programs....I don`t mean just a list of linux apps, programs,.... but compared to the actual windows "only" program....
e.g. my favourite picture viewer and adjuster is Irfanview.... it is not supported by linux except via the WINE app...
(yes I know about GIMP - dont like it - and that there are other progs listed for Linux in the packages etc. )
just wanted a short cut version of the listings, IF there is one available...
There are other progs that I use, that are not directly supported by Linux, and also don`t work with the WINE app, and this is where I wondered if there was a list of alternatives.

As for Linux alternatives this http://www.linuxalt.com/ is a starting point.
Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

is very useful
Search for the software you want, it then gives you everything "similar" - and what OS they run on.

Surely its better to just do a secure format every now n then? by constantly erasing over the platter you cant be doing the hdd much good (it will probably get pretty warm doing that kind of stressful action)
I dont see why you'd want it though tbh??

Quote from: Matt_2k34
id have to ask, what are you browsing that you dont want recovering
I`m not saying............................... that`s why I want it ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ !
I don`t want to erase the whole HDD..... just "some" files and folders, Delete only removes the name of the file, (In most cases) and "some" of the file itself, but that file can usually be recovered...
e.g. If I write a letter to my bank... and in time the content is no longer relevant, I would like to be able to "erase" that letter, (file) with overwrite 3 to 7 times to prevent it being recovered in future...

I really want a prog that is already installed, and when I Right click on the file/folder it has the option to "Erase" in the same drop down menu as "delete" or "move" as if moving a pic file. etc.
