Linux software picks

I’d like to share my favorite softwares which I like to have installed right away if it doesn’t come with the distro.

  1. Tilda - If you have played Counter Strike or Quake, remember how console terminal is used? It will be hidden and if you press some keys it will show up. You press the keys again it will disappear. Nice thing to have if you use command line quite often.
  2. Liferea - RSS reader in Linux. It’s lightweight and does everything you expect from such application.
  3. Geany - Geany is a text editor using the GTK2 toolkit with basic features of an integrated development environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. I like that it loads fast, supports all the documents that I currently work with. The disadvantage is that its very new, so need to be patient.
  4. Graveman - This tool lets me handle almost every kind of CD/DVD burning. I say almost coz there are some minor problems with DVDs.
  5. Thunderbird - I have blogged that it’s my only E-Mail client. My lovely!
  6. Axel - console based download manager. Do you know flashget for windows? It’s sth like that, minus the ability to login to the downloading server. I’d love to see ubuntu integrating it into apt-get.
  7. screen - let’s you run stuff even if you lost/closed connection to the linux box.

More to come soon!
