[newbie] Software Recommendations MDK 9.2
Hello people, There is an abundance of software available for Linux, which is great, but I don't have time to look through it all at the moment. So I was hoping you could recommend me some of the best (or THE best) software for the following things for MDK: - Movie player. - MP3 player. (including playlist feature) - HTML editor / Web site construction software. - Image creating/editing. - FTP client. Thanks. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
