![]() Hmm i’ll try to explain my logic and show details. I don’t understand what the point of using a computer is for people like you who only work from the command line… Are you against innovation? Do you do things like watch movies, use digital images, view pictures online? Do you only have a 33.3k modem that prohibits you from actually enjoying your computer? I’m not trying to sound accuastory or anything, but seriously… why limit yourself so much when there’s so much more out there? Metapad… using it now and almost forgot it ![]() And it still feels somehow over-indulged.ġ3. In the occasional situation it is unavoidable to use Windows i’d only need PuTTy and a One Time Password (OPIE, S/Key). ![]() I don’t use Windows though i’m way not always behind my own computer. Except for the list of 7, none of these programs are mandatory. I could live with VIm instead of Abiword. I could live with Links instead of Mozilla (Firebird). I could live with Xterm instead of Eterm. I could live with console or TWM instead of Enlightenment or XFce (there’s always remote X over SSH anyway). I could live with OGG123, Sidplay2 and Mikmod instead of Xmms and XSidplay. Regarding X, it is much avoidable and not important. Without these programs, i live in huge pain. I’m still trying to get OpenSSH and a kernel (any kernel) together on a floppy. Though OpenSSH only would be enough as addon in most situations. Programs like “ls”, “mv” and “cat” are not added. Some are preinstalled, depending on the OS. Regarding user apps, every box i have contains the magic combination of 7 - be it configured or not. ik Mac (Really good grammar checking program).Tons of old games, Prince of Persia, Arknoid, Monkey Island 1 &2, Fools’ Errand, etc.ĩ. Probably some more I can’t think of right nowĮugenia posted a dead OS so I am going to post a dead OS of my own!ģ. iTunes, QT, iChat, X11, Terminal, Safari, Stuffit Expander (all included with OS)Ĩ. I don’t use dedicated FTP tools anymore since both Nautilus and Explorer can handle FTP servers very well.Īnd the only download tool I use besides the one built into Epiphany is wget.Ĩ. Red Carpet (no Fedora support yet for Ximian channels, but with Open Carpet it’s a much more convenient alternative to yum)Īnd those are the standard apps that I’d get in any case: Java and jEdit (though I’m trying to get away from this because it’s a PITA, alternatives are rare though)Ħ. The media players that aren’t included in RedHat/Fedora for legal reasons (xmms mp3 plugin, rhythmbox with mp3 support, totem, mplayer)ĥ. The Nvidia driver installer (basically, that’s an application :p)Ĥ. Teamspeak (proprietary and ugly but very important)ģ. XQF (I don’t like it, but it’s the only choice)Ģ. Most comes with a default installation of Fedora/GNOME, with a few exceptions:ġ. TheBat (also licensed, but the fact that I’m not even sure I’d still be able to find my key reminds me of how much I loathe proprietary software) jEdit or some other windows-only text editor which was pretty neat but I discovered it too late to use it a lot and now I forgot the name)Ĩ. mirc/teamspeak/all seeing eye (aka “gaming tools”)ħ. This is quite some while ago, so maybe some of these are obsolete now.Ĥ. Here are some more apps that I usually need to install under BeOS. You can see screenshots and more info about these apps on BeBits or BeZip.īeOS 5 hasn’t been updated for quite a long time and so the OS itself doesn’t come with a lot of stuff resulting in the need to download more third party applications in order to get a more complete experience. I don’t use BeOS much anymore (maybe one or two reboots per month), but here is my list. Photoshop Elements or GraphicConverter or MacGimp Media Pack (MacAMP Lite, VLC, MPlayer, Micorosft Media Player)ĩ. I wrote a more comprehensive Mac OS X application list the other day, but this is my really-must-have list.Ĥ. Media Pack (VLC, Ogle, MPlayer, XMMS and Xine w/ Totem) If that happens, here’s what I try to get for these systems:Ĩ. On Linux, most distros already come with these following applications, but on other Unices they don’t always come as standard as they are not part of X, Gnome or KDE. Media Pack (WinAMP, DivX, QuickTime, VLC and Real) Note: The applications are not listed in any particular order.ħ. Please tell us about your favorite third party apps you use on different OSes by using the provided comment section. Here are my application lists for Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac OS X and BeOS applications I always download and install after a clean OS installation. I find myself using a number of OSes daily but for the OSes I use most, I have some favorite third party applications that I can’t live without.
