XMMS (multimedia - mp3 player)
K3B (burner)
GtKam (digital camera software)
Open Office
Firefox
gFTP
Quanta (html editor)
Enlightenment (Windows Manager)
GAIM (instant Messenger)

anyone lpayed around with a program called "lightspeed" its a kickass program that lets you see what objects look like at different speeds.... anywhere from 0 meters per second, to 0.999999% the speed of light. one of the moddels is the star trek ship Voyager... its so cool, you can make it accelerate and look at it from different angles... it warps and bends the models, does doppler effect colour shifts... its a totally useless program,,, but its just sooo cool.

almost the same. I use d4x in Linux instead of FlashGet in Windows. JBuilder and Eclipse run as well in Linux. I use mplayer to play all medias in Linux. I like the screensave "MATRIX" in Linux. When nVidia driver is installed correctly, 3D acceleration is fully supported.

#!'s list was good but I'm on the emacs side of the never-ending debate  . And I'm just somehow more used to TCSH instead of bash (just because my university had it as default shell). And on the matter of email client I agree 100%.

IPod anybody? I had gtk pod for awhile but that was a pain. It took a super long time to load the list from the ipod and anything i did had to refresh the list. Needless to say I abandoned that. I think it may have something to do with the way gtk does menus, but there has to be a better way!!

In linux i think the most important apps not in the base pack are: Mplayer Apt-4-Rpm (i think only for SuSE) FireFox Thunderbird Superkaramba IPtables (a kernel module & the apps) Ksensors Nmap IMHO Kwrite is better than Vim, but vim requires less memory and it's not necessary X, so if you connect through SSh vim is very useful

Still no mention of Xorg-X11 ? lol. these is so much FOSS, it would be impossable to mention it all. People are always saying there isnt as much software available for Linux / BSD, but i think the opposite is true. Anways... Kickass Software that works on Linux... (i dont say for Linux simplly because most of it will run on anything that isnt Windows) CD-Burning = K3B Web Browser = Firefox (work on windows) Email = Thunderbird (works on windows) FTP server = vsftpd Web Server = Apache (works on windows too) Desktop = KDE, GNOME, iceWM, XFCE. Multimedia (music and video) = Xine, Mplayer Multimedia (audio only) = beep-media-player (winamp equivelant) xmms(old version of beep) , Amerok (definatly the best mp3 / ogg player) Ohh.... and the greatest program ever... Emerge/Portage (never sure what to call it) no package management system will EVER beat it... EVER.

I use Openbox as my WM. Firefox/Thunderbird of course. I like Xine more than mplayer, always had better luck with it. And I use X.org instead of XFree, just a fork off of it. Beep-media-player instead of XMMS, uses GTK2. But this is all just my opinion.

Choice Of Motherboard For Linux Virtualization

which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
