NotePad++ = Gedit
Sony Vegas = KdenLive/OpenShot
Google Chrome =Chromuim (Just without the tracking)
Messenger = Pidgin

No way.

PS -> GIMP and Krita
Office -> Open Office
Notepad++ -> No suitable alternative. (I use Leafpad)
Sony Vegas -> No suitable alternative.
Google Chrome -> Google Chrome/Chromium/Iron
Messenger -> Empathy
IRC -> Xchat or Irssi

Linux isn't the best. People say that because you can't get infected but Windows you can

No OS can said he is best than other : Linux can have virus, like mac and windows.
On Linux and mac, a virus should ask the root password to infect the computer, or else it is not very dangerous.
Windows is the 1st OS on the market and thats why it's he who has the more virus.
A very good distro for newbies is Ubuntu. Smile

Fedora is good one distro ...
