Linux

There are quite a few Download Managers for Linux, though very few can be compared to the likes of Getright or Flashget of Windows. It is really impressive to see few of those download managers with the quality of software that we get on Windows (and in few aspects probably more than what we can get on windows). Searching for Download Managers for fedora, I came across this very nice Download Manager available for free. WebDownloader for X 2.5.0 final - is a wonderful piece of software that has large number of options. It supports multiple connections and can resume broken downloads. Queueing, Filters, Scheduler all are there. The Latest rpms are available at freshrpms.net & can also be downloaded here. (PS: The geeky Linux users might reckon that this ain't required at all when we have the nice old wget doing all this. But y'know, it really helps Linux to reach the not-so-geeky users with this kind of application)

Here's a nice detailed write-up on how to get on with installing Limewire on Linux.

Ok, enough of searching! Here's a nice place to download jre (Java Runtime Environment) rpms for fedora core... http://dag.wieers.com/packages/j2re/. UPDATE: rpms for j2re also available on the Sun site, here. Hope this post saves your time searching for it ;)

You can request for free ubuntu CDs here. I'm waiting for mine. 've heard a lot about ubuntu... can't wait to get my hands on it! ;)
