In general, you should look for packages in "testing" here: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages kword is available though I've never used it. I'm not aware of anyone trying to run an IA32 emulator on parisc-linux. gimp and gqview seem to work. Not sure what's availble for video (eg mpeg) editing. grant
