TrueSpace 4.3 (this version untested in WINE)
Bryce 4 (this version untested in WINE)
Poser 4 (this version untested in WINE)
iSpace 1.0 (unknown to WINE)
LiveMotion 1.2 (unknown to WINE)

Damned if I know. 3D work just isn't one of my major interests. If
rendering speed isn't a big deal, you *might* be able to run these
things under virtualbox or vmware, depending on various things.

Anyway, for 3D drawing there is Blender.

Photoshop 6 (WINE gold) , Word 97 (WINE gold)

openoffice.org and gimp?

Of course.



NIC driver for onboard LAN, Biostar NF325-A7 MOBO
AMD Cool 'n' Quiet
WarpSpeeder (MOBO temp and voltage monitor)

These things are almost certainly supported. NICs by modules in the
standard kernel, CPU frequency by cpufreqd, temperature and voltage by
lm_sensors.

more than "supported", I would say "built-in".

FaxTalk Plus 3.0

People still use fax in this day and age? How primitive.

Anyway, there are efax, gfax etc.

K-Meleon 1.1 (with full screen and tab browsing)

This is the first I've heard of this project in 5 years. I thought it
had been abandoned.

And of course the linux default browser (Firefox) has both tab browsing, full screen and much more.


Starter (registry editor to control apps started at boot up)

It's called "the SysV Init Layout", and is typically managed by
rc-update or update-rc.d or chkconfig or another distro-specific tool.

Also this is "built-in", and since many many many years, since the very beginning.

FontExplorer

What's this do?

Don't know in KDE, but in Gnome font-browsing is built-in too.


I manually assign IP addresses for this peer to peer wired network.

It'd be easier to set up a DHCP server and lock the MAC addrs of all the
boxes to particular IPs.

And anyway the network setup is much more straightforward and logical than in Windows, where there is a mess between network and internet connection !


Yes, you do. Just about every PCI modem is a LoseModem.


That's the reason why my wife refuses to use the internal modem of her old Win98 notebook and prefers to hook a good old plain serial modem in the serial port :)
