any type of programs in particular that you are looking for?

I can give a more accurate list with the above info.

[WilliamWallace]

well, anything good....some web development programs, system tools, multimedia, admin tools, your favs...

[Gweedo]

Here is a list of stuff that I use:

Kmail: Great email program. Sorda reminds me of eudora. Ohh, how I love Eudora... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

GnoRPM: I like this for installing and uninstalling RPM packages

LnxZip: Util that handles compressed files such as .zip, .bz, .gz, etc.

GnuCash: Good for keeping track of expenses of many types.

Gcompte: What I use just to keep my checkbook balanced. That is all it does, but that is all I needed.

XFCE: By far the best X-desktop. Easily configured and extremely fast.

CUPS: I like this for printer management.

Ark: Another Archive handler

Koffice: I like this office suite. It is not all done yet but still quite fast and useful.

Mozilla: My default web browser

Konqueror: I use this browser also.

Xosview: I like this system monitor (memory, cpu, load, etc.)

Quanta +: Pretty good for web design

Bluefish: Also excellent for web design

Vim/Gvim: I like VIM in general for coding.


There is a list to get ya started. Most of them are probably already on your machine under /usr/bin. You will notice some are Gnome apps, or KDE apps, or even X-Window apps. What can I say, I find what I like and use it.
