After searching for a graphical interface for my wordnet database for quite a long time, I finally found one. I found it on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-598282.html.

There are a series of short easy steps to follow. Here goes the steps:

type ~$ sudo apt-get install wordnet … (well, I’m still a newbie in Ubuntu. But from the look of the command, I can infer that this is the first step to get the database… in my case, since I already have the most current database of wordnet, the process didn’t take a long time)

then type ~$ wn “animation” -over (this will give you the look up of “animation”)

and finally type ~$ wnb (which is to launch the application)

So, I now have my offline dictionary for my Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
