mitch00 Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hehe... I'm trying to add only quality software... which reminds me, where's vi? :p Just joking of course. Yeah like pixels said, those types of things are pretty standard, you don't see me listing cat, grep etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Veteran Posted April 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted April 25, 2007 Very nice collection here. I am amazed to say that even though I have used Linux on my laptop for about 3 years, there are quite a few on this list I'd never seen before (Listen, Deluge). Good work!

tmahmood Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Tracker Desktop Search tool, it is a File indexer and Search tool, pretty first in my opinion and as it is based on C/C++, its better then Beagle http://www.tracker-project.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreuger Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Gaim is now Pidgin so that should be fixed :p and I'd like to recommend GQView for graphics viewing and YARSSR for aggregators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moglenstar Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Monkey Messenger Monkey Messenger is an open source (MIT licensed) MSN client written using the MONO framework, gtk+ and the MSNPSharp library. http://monkeymessenger.sourceforge.net/ -- just thought i'd add that, I tried it yesterday and it's working to be a pretty nice msn client. supports nudges, personal messages, display pictures, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichi Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Fluttr Clutter based Flickr photo viewer. http://njpatel.blogspot.com/2007/06/flickr...ter-fluttr.html -- Looks cool... would be even cooler if you could also browse your photo collection locally though. I'll be giving it a try on my laptop as soon as I manage to understand the "building a deb from sources" process :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k311 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 im trying "DeVeDe" right now to get some old movies converted so i can watch on my dvd player and so far it looks alright. very nice and easy video converter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch00 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Hmm.. weird that I didn't have DeVeDe on the list already, it's something I use fairly often. Thanks for the reminder I'll add it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rson451 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 i really think that feh should be added to the list. but the problem is should it be under image viewer or misc. it is an image viewer but it is sooo much more :) screen too :) these are my exact definition of killer linux apps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted August 24, 2007 Veteran Share Posted August 24, 2007 I like feh! It is used in my wallpaper resizer, and I also call it in my screenshot app to immediately display what you selected. It is light and fast. It is also handy to feh a directory of images and flip through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rson451 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 maybe add irssi to the list under chat clients? this in combination with screen and ssh get's me through my work day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Expl0ited Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 maybe add irssi to the list under chat clients? this in combination with screen and ssh get's me through my work day. I second this motion. another app close to it but a little easier to understand is Weechat Another text based IRC client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freestyle_web Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Misc.Avant-Windows-Navigator. Avant Window Navgator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows. http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/ Gnome-Launch-Box Launch Box is generally an application launcher. It's very influenced by Quicksilver for Mac OSX. Remember that this is only a first release so don't get your hopes up too much. Launch Box is written for the GNOME 2.10 platform and depends on GTK+ 2.6, evolution-data-server 1.2 and gnome-menus. These are currently hard dependencies but the plan is to split out the backends into different optional backends. http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gnome-launch-box Don't forget about Gnome-Do... IMHO I think Gnome-Do is better than Launch-box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smooth_criminal1990 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I quite like GDmap, it uses treemapping to represent files on your harddisk as a series of relatively-sized squares: http://gdmap.sourceforge.net/ especially useful for finding large files hidden in temp folders! (and there's a windows port called Sequoiaview http://w3.win.tue.nl/nl/onderzoek/onderzoe...on/sequoiaview/ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmartin Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have a small addition to your "file transfer" section. A torrent-client called Deluge.

-Hiroshi- Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Emesene - For looking and working like MSN/Windows Live. I also think this one stepped up when Monkey Messenger closed down, as they look similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
