For those of you that are new to linux and DSL - Here is a list of DSL App's & their Windows Equivalent:
Function Windows Client DSL Client
Web Browser Internet Exporer Firefox & Dillo
Email Outlook Express Slypheed
File Manager Windows Explorer Emelfm
Command Entry Command Prompt ATerminal
Word Processor MS Word Beaver & FL Writer
Spreadsheet MS Excel Siag
FTP Bulletproof axyFTP
PDF Viewer Adobe Acrobat XPDF
MP3 Player Winamp XMMS
System Config Control Panel DSL Panel
Instant Messages Messenger NIRC, AIM & ICQ

The above are installed in the base version of DSL 2.0 - if you want additional apps you will have to download (d/l) and install them (a seperate topic).

Function Windows Client DSL Client
Gnutella Client Limewire Limewire (Net)
Hard Drive Tool Partition magic Qtparted (GTK2)
Image Editor Photoshop GIMP (Apps)
Windows Messenger Messenger GAIM (GTK2)
CD Burner Nero GToaster (Multimedia)

There are more - if you think them important - post them. There are also other clients available to d/l so that if you don't like Firefox or Dillo you can d/l Opera(Net) or if you want a full office suite (including presentations) d/l open office (apps) - there is more than one way to use DSL....
