Top 10 fav. linux apps, and why!
List your top 5 favorite linux applications and why:
NOTE: Window Managers do NOT count as apps in the list, and the top 10 favorite lists do not have to be in order of your favorites as one, and your least fav's as higher #'s.
1. mplayer (simply the best mediaplayer around! The newest release candidate even surpases WMP 9 hands down.)
2, XMMS (best mp3 player ever made. It is by far better than winamp now, and sucks up a lot less resources than the new system-hogging-fat-*** POS that they call Winamp 3.
3. Mozilla/Phoenix browsers (better than IE, opera, definetly better than konqueror, surpases galeon, whoops netscape, etc.
4. Kmix (awesome! Sound adjustment is as simple as putting your mouse cursor over the docked app, and moving your scroll wheel down! You don't even have to click!!!)
5. Apt4rpm/Synaptic the best way to handle packages is apt-get, and/or synaptic, the best GUI frontend for Synaptic.
6. ZSNES (Best SNES emulator around, w/ awesome easy-to-use GUI!)
7. The GIMP (Not quite photoshop, but it's extremely nice for being free )
8. Kopete (All-around best instant messaging client for linux. Better than GAIM, and that say's a lot in itself!)
9. Chromium B.S.U. (Extremely fun/addictive scrolling shooter, that's even better when listening to XMMS in the background)
10. Tux Racer (Not as good as Chromium B.S.U. IMHO but it's up there!)
Go ahead post your top 10 fav linux apps!

Kate for text editing (syntax highlighting for every language I use), until I finish my syntax highlighting editor (written in Qt).
XMMS for music. it rocks.
Gaim, since it works better than the Kopete for KDE 3.1RC3 (yes, I'm still running RC3).
Konqueror for file management and web browsing.
The Gimp, the best free image editor. Period.
My collection of scripts and small programs I've cobbled together. So useful, so coherent, so impossible for others to use.
Emerge.
And my favorite:
wtf. 'Nuff said.
-
Midnight Commander - when all else fails, it's a good fixer.
Opera - Geeeeek neeeeeeed innnnnnnternet
XINE - it just kicks butt!
axyFTP - not much of a webmaster without this.
Bluefish - same reason as above
-
xmms, but of course
mplayer, it's fast and runs almost anything
jpilot, I can't leave my palm on windows
epplets, ahh that cpu flame is nice
xchat
gv, i like it better than xpdf

I'm really surprised to see mplayer listed. Every single video of any type that I've tried to play in it is "An unrecognized file type". I just use Xine.
1) The Gimp!
2) XMMS
3) Tux Racer : )
4) Gaim - It's nice to not have to have two aps open for AIM and ICQ
5) Mozilla
6) X Sane
7) Blue Fish
8) Open Office!
9) gFTP
10) Gnome's screenshot utility

I haven't found anything that doesn't work in MPlayer. I didn't list it, though.
Well, another nifty program is indent. Great for formatting code that Emacs broke.
I totally forgot MzScheme. God, I love Scheme.
-
In no particular order:
vim - text editor
ncftp - cli ftp client, very, very good
galeon - great webbrowser
grep - pattern searching app
sed (I don't know a lot of it yet, but I love it already)
grip - cd ripper
kmerlin - great msn client - I should give kopete a chance though
gnome-multi-terminal - like xterm's but much better
Quanta Plus - very good HTML editor
apt-get - package manager
xchat - very good IRC client (irssi is very nice too though)
wget - download manager
abiword - word processor
kmail - mail client
most of the GNU utils
I guess that's more than 10, I'm just listing some good apps

ZSNES - Lets me play about 800 games.
Konqueror - For graphical file management.
LICQ - Nice looking ICQ client.

If you did a little search on freshmeat and/or sourceforge, you would fid it.
IIRC, there are no binaries for it, but then again, maybe you could search on rpmfind.
It's pretty much the same as gqview, except that its newer -> less stable. And you don't want it to crash on some... special moments, now do you?
I hesitated a bit about giving the URLs since you could find it easily, but anyway:
pornview.sf.net
freshmeat.net/projects/pornview
http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...mit=Search+...
