Firefox, Thunderbird, Gaim, OO Writer, Gimp, Kaffeine, KAlarm (to remind me to watch TV programs in case I get carried away with what I'm doing!), FooBilliard + Frozen Bubble (when I'm relaxing).

 

Oh, and urpmi or the GUI for updating, installing software, etc for the test system I crash regularly for my learning process!!!

Well absolutely every single day?

Not just on Tuesday or once or twice a week?

 

It's a short list for everyday.

 

Gnome My usual desktop.

Nautilus

Gnome Terminal

 

Evolution check my personal e-mail everyday

Firefox - The web is a lot of my job.

 

XMMS - Entertainment while I work.

 

man - if that can be called a program. :help:

 

Any text editor.

It's Vim at the moment as the fact I use it seems to annoy colleagues. To be truthful I'm perverse enough to enjoy arguing with them about it's obvious superiority. In truth I'm a bad person. :devil: I'm not actually fussy when it comes to text editors.

 

Very frequently more than twice a week say:

GImageView

Gimp

I'll have a number of images to manage and / or edit every week.

 

LyX

There's almost always documentation of some sort to produce. LyX makes a really nice job of it, with minimum effort on my part.

 

Nearly everything else is done in Windows for Company wide compatibility.

I can probably get my Lotus Notes to run under wine if I put in the effort as well.

Most programs I use have been mentioned, some haven't:

cadence icfb

calibre

vlm

sandworks waveviewer

 

and my guess is no one knows those programs. Ah well, they are what puts bread on my table, and no, I couldn't afford a license for any of these, luckily my company pays for it. (You think MS licenses are expensive? Some programs I use have yearly license fees over 100.000 USD...)

 

Linux is now mission critical where I work, running on Opteron servers.

Who'd have though that of Linux and AMD 5 years ago?

:)
