=== Proprietary Software ===
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I really believe in free software, but there is some non-free software I
still use, this is a list of some of that software and how I'm trying to
migrate away from it.

=== Xv ===

| Name         | Xv                                                       |
| Url          | http://www.trilon.com/xv/index.html                      |
| Description  | Interactive image manipulation application for X11.      |

[[img/xvsshot.thumb.jpg] img/xvsshot.png]

I've been using xv for simple image viewing and manipulation for years, I
dont think it's been updated since the turn of the century, but there's
still nothing quite like it. Unfortunately xv is shareware, although I hope
there is a chance that the author will liberate the source at some point, or
perhaps someone will make a gtk+ clone.

I have attempted to switch to other simple image utilities, but none of
them compare to xv.

=== Nvidia Drivers ===

| Name         | Nvidia Linux Drivers                                     |
| Url          | http://www.nvidia.com                                    |
| Description  | Nvidia graphics drivers for Linux/X11.                   |

Nvidia provide binary only drivers for their graphics chipset. I generally
dont use any of the advanced features of the card, apart from TwinView (for
which there is a free replacement), so I really have no excuse not to
migrate to the free driver.

=== Opera ===

| Name         | Opera Web Browser                                        |
| Url          | http://www.opera.com                                     |
| Description  | Opera Web Browser for Linux/X11.                         |


=== IDA Pro ===

| Name         | IDA Pro Disassembler                                     |
| Url          | http://www.datarescue.be                                 |
| Description  | Very sophisticated disassembler and debugger for Linux.  |
