Hi,

Which are the best apps for linux in your opinion?

For me:

k3b (burning, multimedia)
amarok (music)
gimp (graphics)
wengophone (web phone)
korganizer (organizer)
guarddog (firewall)
rkhunter (antispyware)
sbackup (backup)
zim (note taker, wiki)
tellico (easy database)
gxine (multimedia)
coccinella (communication)
openoffice (office)


PS I think that it will help beginners and others who are searching the good app for a task

• Amarok
• NetworkManager
• Bash
• K3b
• vim
• pidgin(or gaim)
• F-Spot

Network Manger - it's the dogs... There just isn't anything as capable on Windows.

OK, let's change it a little... so that it meets my own needs.

Well, I am searching good apps for :

watch tv (p2p technology included)
foreign language training (english and spanish)
write music
web creation
put french subtitles to foreign films

I know I can find a lot of apps for each case. I am mostly interested in suggestions from your experience with those apps.


PS Anybody can ask according to their needs or continue the thread as done so far.
