Guest LinuxExplorer Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 What are some of the more common software apps that you all are using? I'm just discovering some software such as Ximian Evolution which isn't part of the MDK package. Also, I've been using GKrellm pretty much since I've installed MDK. Anything any of you use that isn't packaged normally or installed by default that you use on a regular basis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 One program that I use all the time is called jEdit - www.jedit.org. It is an editor developed in java that is almost as powerfull as emacs. A few other programs that I have installed, but don't necessarily use all the time are: JBuilder Kylix Sun ONE Studio 4 Houdini 5.5 Apprentice Edition These are the major ones.

Guest jglen490 Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 The KOffice suite, OpenOffice.org (occasionally), GIMP, xmms, mozilla, Konqueror (occasionally), gvim, jed/xjed ... there are others, but that's a start. I use IceWM as my GUI -- it runs everything that I need it to run, considering the low powered machine that I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything any of you use that isn't packaged normally or installed by default that you use on a regular basis? Funny, my Mandrake came with Evolution... At least it was on the CDs when I installed it onto my wife's PC... I don't use it. Too much extras for me. My mail client starts in under 2 minutes. ;) Er, seconds. Anyhow, here's what I mostly use: GaimGaleon webmin urpmi rpm XChat XMMS Checkinstall Sylpheed Konsole Quanta Gimp Kate gFTP wget POSE GVIM/vim Grip Grep Gawk Pan kcalc Grub Firestarter OpenOffice.org aumix GCC Gedit Gkrellm (I don't really use it, but it's always running.) There's other stuff, just isn't coming to mind at the moment. I have links to some of this on my links page on my site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest birkarl Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Everyday stuff from the distro would be gcc (esp gcc-gnat), ddd, kdevelop, doxygen, expat, and more of their like (obviously using X and KDE here...) and extra stuff would be PGI Workstation (*great* compilers), Understand For Ada, and some obscure debuggers and libraries. There's not much missing if you include contrib, texstar and plf - some for me noteably missing is djvulibre (gfx format), eagle-demo (PCB layout), xcircuit (also PCB), Xnview (great little imageviewer with support for weird formats) and finally the programming language Erlang. Is there an official wishlist anywhere for us that made the option to buy the box rather than join the Club? (EDIT: just remembered my first impression when I installed MDK9 for the first time: Where's all the emulators at??? I want all my game ROMs to run ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vdubjunkie Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 ok, so maybe not "major" apps by size anyway, but... vissh find su mv chmod chown md (with the -P option especially) scp mount umount -l (for when it just refuses to umount nicely!) mc (which is almost too cool to express) w (might just be surprised..) ls -ltr ..and for Windows Putty just rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
