[PL] Program Index Page: adding OS info

[Susan Bugher]

In response to requests for an *easy* way to find PL programs that have
Linux and Mac etc. etc. versions. . .

I've revised and simplified the OS info in the PL descriptions - kept
the Windows, Mac, Linux and Unix info and thrown most of the rest out -
Debian, Beos etc. etc. When I look at the supported OS for PW program -
I recognize some OS names as "versions" of Linux - after that I'm pretty
much lost - help would be *much* appreciated.

There's a temporary web page here:

http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/2004/PL2004ProgramIndex-temp.php

Is the Win column useful? Should I split the "other" OS column - one
column for the Mac OS - one for Linux, Unix?

Additions and corrections?

Review and comments please. TIA

Just one column for OS, it´s my whish.

The page looks good. I can't comment on the 'Other' column except that there
are a lot of places to look for a Windows equivalent.

But if you want to keep it, here's a place to check one column against the
other.

And the point is?
You answered your own question.

You answered your own question.

I did? - must be I didn't state the question properly. . . but someone
started a Unix/Linux thread. . .

and it looks like that will help me figure out which names are:

some flavor of Linux. . .
some flavor of Unix. . .
some other kind of beast. . . perhaps best ignored?. . .
