For all the software you name there are excellent substitutes which
works even on a broader front.

You might run the Crossover trial on SLED 10.

What is a good QuickBooks substitute? KMyMoney, which I use, does not
do invoices (and all the sudden I get a couple of customers who insist
on them even though I am a cash and carry computer troubleshooter) and
while gnuCash will, it is plain ugly.

As far as I know, there is no Linux version of Shockwave.

For the rest, I think the Linux alternatives are much better.

Now if I only could find a way to port all my MsPublisher files over to
Linux I would be happy, unfortunately it is Publisher 98 and can't save
to anything other than it's own native format.
