“If you use any MSWord compatible word processor in Linux
the chances are extremely high that you are using software that
Caolan wrote, the infamous MSWordView library (which has recently
been renamed to wvware). Caolan is a member of the Irish Linux
Users’ Group and graciously allowed us to be the first to interview
him.”
“What application or component is Linux most lacking?”
“Video editing tools like adobe premier, and the lack of sound
creating and editing tools is woeful. We have StarOffice for word
processing, we have Gnome for looking good, Gnumeric for
spreadsheets, Oracle and MySql etc etc for databases, Gimp for
graphics. Basically we’re looking good. Some work needed to round
out the full suite of applications, but no real sound tools, no
real video tools. No equivalents for any good multimedia work.”
