To my knowledge most of the modules in e-Sword are public domain and also available in Sword.<BR>
<BR>
You could run e-Sword with WINE if you have all the DLL's it requires.<BR>
<BR>
I prefer Bible Desktop because you can run it from a thumbdrive anywhere. e-Sword must be installed on the local machine.<BR>
<BR>
If you download PortableOpenOffice (portableapps.com/openoffice) for text editing, PortableFirefox if you need a personal web browser, and maybe TiddlyWiki (tiddlywiki.org) for linked personal notes, you have a very good set of tools on your USB drive or CD-RW.<BR>
<BR>
Right now I am using TiddlyWiki for my Bible software, with the iframes version of the (English only) NETBible (bible.org) embedded in it. It is more flexible for personal notetaking, but I am still figuring out how to search the text, set up a reading calendar, and do word processing from within TiddlyWiki.<BR>
<BR>
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in Indonesia.<BR>
