Browser of the Year
Distribution of the Year LiveCD Distribution of the Year Database of the Year Desktop Environment of the Year Window Manager of the Year Office Suite of the Year Word Processor of the Year Spreadsheet of the Year Audio Multimedia Application of the Year Video Multimedia Application of the Year Security App of the Year Cryptography App of the Year Hardening App of the Year Editor of the Year Web Development Editor of the Year IDE of the Year Mail Client of the Year Open Source Game of the Year Commercial Game of the Year Windows on Linux App of the Year File Manager of the Year Messaging App of the Year Graphics App of the Year FTP Server of the Year Web Server of the Year MTA of the Year --jeremy |
File Manager of the Year? (presumably non-bash/ls/mv/cp, but maybe that could be a contestant, too.) :)
Utility/System Utility/Something of the Year? A slot or two for the little guys. If there's FTP server, should there be ftp client? Maybe science/educational app? Celestia is wild. :) Distributed app? Folding/SETI? Flipside, I always thought these Security App of the Year Cryptography App of the Year Hardening App of the Year were a little close together and might be combined. Maybe not to major security wonks, though. Looks pretty good overall, though. Just idle suggestions. |
How about a Documentation/FAQ category..
eg a source for good Docs... |
File Manager of the Year has been added.

I have doubts about 'Windows on Linux App of the Year'. I assume it means apps running under Wine. In such case I don't think that those apps should be honored - it's Wine team work, not the app's developers.
|
Mara, that category will include apps to run windows apps (ie. Wine, VMware, CXOffice, Win4lin, etc).

Thanks for clarification. :)

Mail server of the year
|
Firewall of the year
separate category or come under distros or security apps ??? I would like to see Firewall of the year cool floppy |
Firewall of the year - on linux boxes? There is only one firewall, or so I thought... iptables
|
I suppose I mean distros like
smoothwall, openwall, IP Cop, Monowall ( BSD ), etc etc floppy |
I thought those were all iptables frontends
|
Joey.Dale - We have MTA of the year.
As for the security issue, we could possibly change the "Hardening App" category to Hardening App/Security Distro. Thoughts? --jeremy |
are the reponses going to be in quiz form?
