Although it's based on a commercially purchased database, the ebview 
program enables me to use the dictionaries I paid for on Linux, and off 
the hard drive. I prefer using dictionaries off of the hard drive and 
not off an on-line database. Naturally I research things on-line, but 
for a straightforward dictionary, I prefer it all to be sitting on the 
hard drive. I like owning that database and not having to pull it off of 
a distant machine.
