I use gentoo/suse, os x, and win xp in my day to day life. Quite a mix eh? Not ordered (also sorry for breaking all the rules) RSSBandit: best RSS reader for windows. Probably the best one out there "." Akregator and blam are adequate for linux. gimp -- engineering 460/895. digital image processing. Very programmable and scriptable Out of box. Mostly used matlab for frequency domain though. mrxvt/bash: mrxvt is based on aterm and rxvt. Nice and light but i like to think of that and bash as a combo. On windows i need bash through cygwin. OS x bash is great too. matlab,maple: couldn't get very far without these two bad boys! ssh/sftp: on windows i use putty, psftp. Filezilla also works for sftp. latex: saves my ass on lab reports. I have a template been using it for years now. NEVER EVER have to worry about formatting again and saves me and my group hours. I don't think i could ever use a word processor again for writeups. subversion: can't do team projects without it. Also nice to keep homework in sync between my lappy and desky. firefox: staple on windows and gnome. mac and kde i use konqueror. thunderbird (windows), mail.app (mac), sylpheed claws 2 (linux), kmail (linux), mutt (ssh). Problems with all of them. not really liking anyone. gaim: simply awesome. Also use adiumX for os x (uses libgaim but is all mac'd out) inkscape: i can actually make half-decent looking things in vector drawing. Not so with pixels. Sigh. Been using this since it came from sodipodi. sharpdevelop: great for c# not as nice as visual studio but free and OSS. azeureus: torrents (legit ones too 7zip: awesome! vlc: use this on mac and windows. totem (gstreamer) /kaffeine (kde xine front-end). Ogle = best dvd player for years. Mplayer if all else fails. gcc: last but not least. I can't live without this guy (or mingw). ------------- |

Too bad I'm not behind my own compo right now. The KDE start menu(kmenu?) would instantly tell me what apps I execute most often. I guess it is something like that: __________ |

How could someone play both Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft? Isn't one addicting game enough? The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face. |

MSN Messenger Some of those might be a bit of a stretch as far as frequent use goes. I was surprised how few apps I really use. |

The top 6 on my start menu are: 1) notepad - used for quick note taking stuff Everything else is lauched off my quick launch tray and usually kept open. I'd say my top 10 for quicklaunch are, in no special order: I almost always have AIM, MSN, GAIM, Google chat, X-Chat, a few explorer windows, firefox, thunderbird, scite, a cmd or two, an IE window, a notepad or two, and winamp open. The only exception is closing the memory eaters, like firefox and thunderbird, if I play a game of UT or something. |

I've made a whole lot of image editing proglets with Allegro over the past 4 years, now I have a new computer that doesn't do dos/vesa stuff worth messing with, and all the old allegro exe's crash. I'll bet I've recompiled about 15 by now with mingw. Anyway, I've gone down from using one (without thinking) and having it crash every 10-15 minutes to a couple hours before I run into another one. Otherwise, it's a list of VDE (an ancient dos editor that my fingers have been trained to use for many years), gcc etc. and a few games when my dual brain cells overheat. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Why don't you use winamp, it beats out windows media player by a long run. |

I preach the gospel of XMPlay myself as I think that both Winamp and WMP are bloated. (inspired by other thread |
