> Is there any excellent monolingual dictionary available for (Gentoo) Linux? |

What do you mean by monoligual? (English to English? or other |
| 5 |
languages?) |

Anycase, I have on my desktop 'sdcv' installed. The last time I |
| 8 |
checked (about 18 months ago) it is not in portage. Not quite sure if |
| 9 |
it is now. |
| 10 |
http://sdcv.sourceforge.net/ |
| 11 |
It is a commandline interface for StarDict, and so can just use |
| 12 |
stardict's dictionaries. (Speaking of which, if you are willing to |
| 13 |
have a GUI, you can just emerge stardict; you would also need to |
| 14 |
emerge the dictionaries that you need, they are all under app-dicts |
| 15 |
with a stardict- prefix. There are also additional dictionaries that |
| 16 |
you can download on http://stardict.sourceforge.net/) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
On my laptop, I just run a dictd server (emerge dictd). You also need |
| 19 |
to install dictionary files, again, all under app-dicts/dictd-* |
| 20 |
For English to English, I suggest the WordNet dictionary. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
You can also, alternatively, just emerge wordnet. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Personally, if you just need an English-English dictionary, I would |
| 25 |
suggest using wordnet. Dictd is a bit fancier, but you might not find |
| 26 |
it more useful (I personally find the elements database quite useful |
| 27 |
every now and then). If you need support for other languages, I would |
| 28 |
suggest StarDict. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Also, you can just look into the portage tree under app-dicts and |
| 31 |
app-text |
