Exaile (same as above) audacious (XMMs look-a-like) Messenger: Mercury aMSN Pidgin Kopete DVD/CD burning: brasero k3b cdrecord / wodim (Debian's version of cdrecord) nerolinux Image viewing: comix (it can read from compressed files, so it makes it ideal for manga viewing) gqview Bittorrent: Deluge-torrent Bittornado Azureus rtorrent ktorrent Office suites: abiword OpenOffice IRC: xchat irssi Text editing: gedit kate leafpad vim/gvim emacs Security: firestarter: an Interface for managing your iptables bcrypt: File encryption Programming: gcc anjuta eclipse code::blocks Games: scourge egoboo Misc: sshfs: (ssh file system) Excellent for working with remote folders and filesystems. grip (cd ripper) pan and/or klibido (usenet) gimp (image editing) nethack (Best roguelike game ever.) NTFS-3G (ntfs read-write) vixie-cron (or something similar) syslog-ng useful links: The table of equivalents / replacements / analogs of Windows software in Linux.

Music player:
XMMS. Yes, XMMS. Other apps I either don't like the playlist method (especially Amarok) and/or are extremely unstable/buggy/crash on me. XMMS is the only music player I use, and destroys all others even today. Messenger: gaim -> Pidgin (new name) DVD/CD: cdrecord / wodim (Debian's version of cdrecord) Bittorrent: ktorrent (best one, I think) image viewing: gqview (I don't use compressed files, compression doesn't help much anyway) irc: irssi other: grip (cd ripper) pan and/or klibido (usenet) vim / gvim (best text editor ever. Bring on the holy wars. )gimp (image editing) nethack (Best roguelike game ever.)

1. gcc (It's not an operating system if it doesn't have a compiler - that's an inoperating system)
2. gvim / kate / kedit / emacs 3. vixie-cron (or something similar) 4. syslog-ng 5. And an absolute must-have... wine + cygwin, to really screw with your mind

Are there any good music making software? I use Reason, Cubase and Acid on my WinXP. If there are, I'll delete my winXP
cause thats the only reason I use it.

There are a good number of apps out there for music creation. If you would like to try them, Dyne:bolic (described here) is a live CD operative system packed with many of the best audio/video/image editing/creation tools that there are in Linux. With the Live CD you can just try the apps without initially installing Linux. If you like it you can later choose another more robust distribution, and you'll already know what applications to use
![]() Disclaimer: please note that the desktop environment that is included with that distribution is designed to be light and simple, however it leaves things to desire in the aesthetic department. Better distro's come with more elegant desktops environment, however for trial purposes it does the trick
