The best programs??

[Peppercorn]

I am pretty much a newbie to Linux compared with a lot of you out there, and I thought that I'd post this to see what all of you think.

 

"What do you think are the best programs that have been written for Linux??"

 

In any catargory that you like.

 

Personally, I would be lost without Xserver, Webmin, ssh, k3b for dvd burning.

 

I am sure that there are many more great programs that I, and maybe many others don't even know about.

 

So, what are your picks?

 

By the way.........Happy new year!

Interesting question. There was a post on Newsforge about this and the received about a thousand or more responses to it. Here is my list though:

• Emacs - all round text editor
  
• Apache - best web server on the planet
  
• MySQL - Since I have not used PostgreSQL I am going to have to nominate this
  
• K3B
  
• Frozen Bubble
  
• GAIM
  
• XMMS
  
• urpmi - I have not tried apt-get, but so far this is the best package installation program out there
  
• Anjuta - Excellent C/C++ ide
  

Here is a small list of my top cross-platform programs (not necessarily created for LInux, but they run on Linux) Really cool thing about all the programs listed below is that there are free versions that can be downloaded.

• Netbeans - java ide
  
• jEdit - excellent all round text editor that can compete with emacs for functionality
  
• Aqua Data Studio - excellent program for interacting with databases
  
• Posiedon for UML - UML design program
  
• Zend Studio - php ide
  
• DBDesigner4 - graphical design program for creating mysql databases
  
• Maya - world's best 3d animation character creation program
  
• Softimage XSI - probably the best all round 3d animation program
  
• Houdini - best 3d animation and affects program on the planet
