OK after years of abuse Mr. Softie needs to go.

I noted a whole lot of basic 'box' type computers at Lotus the other day and they all came with the Linux OS.

Now I'm not interested in the boxes but the Linux kinda piqued my interest.

Is there a site/location that I can go to, to see what apps are available for the Linus OS? Whether commercial or not I would be interested to see if there is a basic repository of the information.

Currently my most heavily used apps are the following

Web browser

Photoshop and Photoshop Elements

Email

Word

utorrent

Stock charting programs

Adobe Acrobat

Dreamweaver

are at the top more or less in that order. Stock charting and Acrobat prolly aren't available but have no idea if any of the others can be had in some form or other.

I'm not too bad with apps but suck when it comes to operating systems and tuning them. Total flocking idjiot actually.

Any advice from the gurus is appreciated.
