Feel free to take this patch or throw it away or re-work :-)

Notes:

- please proof-read my patch - I'm not a native speaker.

- mentioning Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, GNOME, KDE, The
  GIMP and some famous server suites, programming languages and
  documentation systems, but not more

- this breaks all translations - don't commit, if you care

- I changed also CD into DVD/CD etc.

Cheers,
