I suppose something like this has been posted in the past, but nevertheless, there is so much obscure, neat and useful software out there, that I just wanted to know what you like and what you don't and perhaps a why. (Not that I plan to start a flame war or something)
If you do reply, please add any other suitable categories. -------------------------------------- Here's my favourites list: Image viewer: GQView (i find it very fast -- and the "progressive" image rendering is great for large images) Movie mlayer: MPlayer (Opens everything. Very good speed and usability) Text editor: Kate (KDE 3.3) (I used KWrite earlier... Kate now seems more lightweight and fast and feature rich) Music player: XMMS 1.2.10 (Speed, Queue/Unqueue "dynamic playlists", usability -- Amarok's equalizer is intimidating to say the least) PIM: Kontact Ripper/Music encoder: bladeenc + GRip Game: So far Quake III Arena Demo on Linux (That's the only good 3d game i could get running on Linux. Has anyone run Unreal Tournament on Linux?) "Desktop environment": KDE 3.3 (Feature-rich, good and easy configurability) Distro: SuSE 9.2 (Takes care of the little details in an OS... KDE seems pretty fast... excellent fonts and multimedia and hardware support etc. all out of the box... needs little tweaking for what should already be there) Web Browser: Firefox 1.0 (Maybe this would be a unamimous decision for most...) Image editor: Gimp 2.0 (Has anyone run Photoshop -- any version at all -- over wine in Linux? I would like to know how you did it) Video Editor: Still looking for one -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
