Well, not a bad choice. Definitely not. +1

What's Your "Killer App?"

Epiphany: The web browser for the GNOME desktop.

Indeed.

I can't mode you up, but Paint.net is a neat little program for quickly editing photos.

Definately firefox.

The type to find feature is incredibly useful, and I miss it when I don't have it. Extensions are another reason that I use it, especially google sync.

My killer app is xkill, but I would almost never need it if not for Firefox.

For all it's flaws (and there are many) I agree. I just can't stay away, and I've tried many many browsers.

To be more specific though, I absolutely cannot live without Firefox+ All-In-One Gestures extension. WHY CLICK ON THE BACK BUTTON?

On every computer I use, especially those at work running IE6, I always click the right mouse button and drag left really quickly to go back...And I get a context menu

Sometimes we spoil ourselves...

GRUB or LILO...essential for jumping outta Windows...

No kidding. This is one of *the* most versatile apps ever. Once you've really used it, you can't live without it. Computer crack.

Seconded, I was going to suggest PUTTY, but SSH covers it much better.

+1 for you!!

I think the same.

Yes. Konqueror does so much that it's not even funny. Whenever I have to use Windows or Gnome without Konqueror, I constantly find myself wishing for Konqueror with all of its great features. It's not perfect - sometimes I have to use firefox because sites are browser compliant instead of standards compliant - but it's one of the most powerful apps that I know.

Less than a week ago I mentioned this game to my girlfriend and was appalled to find out that she never heard about it.

Oh Lord, the old days of messing with the source to increase the explosion radius or the speed of the banana

Haha.. you did that too? ... those were the days. They don't make games like that anymore. First time I played it was in 1991 I believe - on a Compaq L20 laptop (20 MB HDD and one 1.44 MB floppy drive - and 'widescreen' CGA - and wonderful 640 KB of RAM.

Those were the days

PS: Forgot to mention the pc-speaker. That one ruled :p

Yea!!!! Me too... I almost rewrote this game at one point.

AMEN Reverend!

Damn, I have to fire up dosbox now

Man, I recently became proficient in LaTeX. I love it, except for the nuances with floats. I now refuse to touch Word or PowerPoint even for non-mathematical projects like biochemical lab reports. But you really need to know someone proficient in LaTeX for it not to become overwhelmingly frustrating.

When I was at School, I got into trouble for looking up Bondage websites on the School Internet. Turns out that my searching for "LaTeX plugins" tripped the content filter. Can't think why [/]

I agree. LaTeX has its warts, but there is no serious alternative -- unlike most other applications that I use. Yes, I prefer Firefox, but I can live with other browsers. Yes, I prefer Emacs, but I can live with other editors. But I'm pretty much dependent on LaTeX for a lot of my work.

Just installed cowsay pretty cool!

Yeah, Screen is something else I wouldn't want to live without

Another vote for screen here. Although lately I've become quite fond of transmission. I think it's the perfect bittorent client. I also have to give Vim a lot of praise.

Have you had issues with Adium and certain torrents simply doing nothing - sitting at 0?

Just curious, my roommate seems to have this problem and we can't seem to find a solution.

/+1 vim.
I even use to develop Windows software. (Instead of VC-2K3)

- Gilboa

P.S. I'd suggest you try vimperator extension for firefox.
It makes firefox use a vim-like interface.

- Gilboa

+1 for amaroK, even if the newer winamps come close feature-wise, it's just nowhere near the same.

You forgot Far Manager ... the best of all.

I can agree more. When I used to run Windows, Total Commander was in my startup sequence.
Now that I run Linux, Midnight Commander is just a 'mc' away. :-)

all same .. just 2 bad mucommander for osX is not in premiere league atm

I just use Midnight Commander ... under Linux, OS/2, Solaris, Windows, and on my Nokia 770.

could you pls. elaborate on the idea of R-OS?
