For me: ubuntu-restricted-extras - MP3 codec, mainly, but some other stuff vim-full - the ultimate text editor! ssh - remote logins Thunderbird - far nicer than Evolution, IMO Inkscape - vector graphics editor Apache/PHP/MySQL/Xdebug - PHP development environment KCacheGrind - used with Xdebug Skype - I hate freedom* Wireshark - Network diagnostics KRDC - VNC client. The GNOME version of this doesn't work too well IME. Audacity - audio editor UFRaw - Camera RAW processing Hugin - Panorama creator In Firefox: Firebug - The ultimate web developer tool Web developer toolbar - miscellaneous useful stuff Adblock Plus - get rid of all the nonsense TwitterFox - Twitter client Data: Pidgin accounts Email accounts for Thunderbird SSH keys I think that's about it. * This is a lie. -- Cheers, Michael -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
