Linux Application Software Programs - Open Office Suite And "Others"

An operating system cannot be successful without plenty of high quality, commonly-used application software programs, such as

word processor, spreadsheet, database, email, accounting and other productivity programs.

Linux currently has applications to meet all of these needs and more are being added constantly.

The Open Office Suite is a free "suite" (set) of Linux application software programs and includes:

Writer - for word processing tasks, like the "Word" word processor

Calc - for creating and using spreadsheets, like Excel

Impress - for presentation graphics, like PowerPoint

Draw - for creating graphics for lots of different uses

Base - a database software program, like Access

Other Linux Software Programs - Included In A Linux Distribution

Linux distributions include thousands of Linux software programs (on CD, DVD or other source) that you can install when you run the installation routine of the distro.

And if the software you need isn't there, you can find it on the Internet and download it for free!
