If you were a Windows user for quite some time and recently moved to Linux platform then probably you must be missing few windows applications that have used to get your work done in Windows. Sometimes you will need to boot in to the Windows operating system (If you have a multi boot environment Linux+Windows) to read the files created in any of the Windows supported application. The Linux Alternative Project is a web space which is updating the list of Alternative applications for Linux regularly.
The Linux Alternative Project currently has alternatives for major Adobe applications, Microsoft office utilities, 3D studio max, SoudForge, Zone Alarm and the list goes on. You can check it out www.linuxalt.com for the updated listing.
Linuxalt.com is not hosting all the applications on their server but they are pointing the links the official page.
