Now you can get Freemind 0.9 on Xubuntu Linux (and OS X and Windows). Freemind is the free mindmapping software. I think it is great for planning and thinking sometimes. There is an old version in the Ubuntu repositories, but I had a hard time getting it to work and it couldn’t open the maps I made on my Mac or Windows (since they had later versions of the software).
I just downloaded freemind-bin-max-0.9.0_RC_6.zip and extracted, made freemind.sh executable and now I got a new version of this great little program :)
How do you make freemind.sh executable? I’m not sure how to do that at all. I have freemind installed now from a .deb, but I don’t have the max install. I want the max install for the latex plugin, which doesn’t seem easy to add on its own.
In Ubuntu (I’m running gnome at the moment to be compatible with my computer at the office): Rightclick file, Properties, Permissions, Allow executing file as a program.
