AcidRip | For converting video DVDs to AVI files. |
AleVT | For reading TeleText pages. Works well in combination with XawTV. |
Anjuta | For programming. I switched to this one a long time ago because KDevelop was too KDE-centric and created too much bloat. |
ApplixOffice | For database stuff and for writing letters. I bought v4.4.2 in 1999 and it still runs on all the distros that I use. |
Avidemux | For simple video editing. |
D4X | For downloading distros and other large files from HTTP and FTP sites. |
EasyTAG | For editing MP3 tags. |
EmelFM | For file browsing/copying/moving. |
Evince | (Debian 4.0) For reading PDF documents. |
Firefox | (Debian 3.1) For local and non-local Web browsing. |
GEdit | For editing text and HTML files when there are a lot to edit (e.g., when configuring a newly-installed system). |
gFTP | For uploading files to my website. |
Gimp | For editing images. |
GQview | For viewing images. |
GTKtalog | For cataloging the contents of CDs and DVDs. |
Icedove | For reading and writing email. |
Iceweasel | (Debian 4.0) For local and non-local Web browsing. |
K3b | For burning CDs and DVDs. I switched to this one because xcdroast couldn't do DVDs without a proprietary library. |
Kaffeine | For playing video clips if there are a lot to view. |
KDict | For accessing the local dictionary server. |
KGhostview | (Debian 3.1) For reading PDF documents. |
Konqueror | For file browsing. |
Kuickshow | For viewing images if I want a quick thumbnail view of all images in a directory. |
KWrite | For writing and editing plain text and HTML files. |
QEMU | Used in combination with QEMU Launcher. For running VMs, and for testing ISO and FD image files. |
Synaptic | For installing pre-packaged software from the Debian DVDs. |
Totem | For playing video clips if I just need a quick way to check the contents. |
TVtime | Occasionally used for fullscreen TV viewing if I don't plan to do anything else at the same time. |
XawTV | For normal TV viewing. AleVT works well in combination with this one. |
XMMS | For playing MP3s, and for converting music CDs to MP3s (via the out-lame codec). |
