Yeah...it's really nice to be back on Linux. - Rahsheen ™

Hmm...you just have plain Ubuntu in? I prefer KDE to Gnome for a basic desktop. Banshee for music. - Neal Jansons

Yeah, just Gnome. Don't really have a preference between the two anymore. It's been so long. I know I used to run both simply because of the different software I needed to record/produce music. We'll see how it goes. - Rahsheen ™

What do you need? Love my Ubuntu - everyone's needs are different. Forget what comes loaded since we have a customized staff desktop. - Mlibrarianus

Hrm...I have Gnome-do, so that seems to be a big piece of how I work. Pidgin for IM. I guess I'm just interested to know what software everyone else uses. All the stuff I used to use back in the day I think is not even active anymore - Rahsheen ™

Amarok for music. OpenOffice for office stuff. Firefox or Flock for web stuff. - Steven Perez

Oh, and VLC. - Steven Perez

Wow, what a name. "restricted" LOL - Rahsheen ™

Ah, yeah...VLC. Gotta research the rest of those. - Rahsheen ™

What do you guys use for Torrents? I was using Utorrent in XP. - Rahsheen ™

Firefox. Links (prefer it to Lynx, but have both installed). GVim. Eclipse. AIR Runtime for various AIR apps. Flash. restricted packages for media. Kino for DV video. Wine/Crossover. VirtualBox. VLC. Songbird. and on and on, depending on your interests... lots of options. ;) Oh, and DOSBox, heh. - abacab

You can still use uTorrent via Wine/Crossover, actually. - abacab

I have a love for Azureus/Vuze. And it's cross platform. - April Russo

I try to avoid Wine/Crossover or any of that stuff. There's gotta be a viable alternative. Oh yeah, Azureus. - Rahsheen ™

Same things Steven Perez mentioned plus Gimp, Blender, Scribus, Camorama, K3b - Mlibrarianus

Azureus got too bloaty for me a long, long time ago. And there's nothing wrong with a little Wine; everything in moderation. ;) - abacab

If you're running Linux, you don't install software, you write it. ;) - ·[▪_▪]·

For torrents, if you want to stay away from Wine and Azureus I'd say go with KTorrent. If you're going to be doing any video/audio/graphics editing, I'd recommend the packages that are in Ubuntu Studio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - donato

I use Vuze/Azureus for torrents and love it :), I also used qbittorrent which is nice and simple :). http://qbittorrent.sourceforge.net/ . - Hassan Ibraheem

Good lookin on Ubuntu Studio, all my favorite junk: hydrogen, ardour, muse, etc... - Rahsheen ™

audacity, inkscape, openoffice.org-draw, vlc; then the whole http://www.medibuntu.org stack of DVD codecs etc. - Chuck LeDuc Díaz

Beryl is good if you want to show off. I just use the default window manager myself. As long as I can run emacs I'm fine. - Bruce Lewis from fftogo
