so in general, wordprocessing, spreadsheet, email, ftp, dictionaries, IM, media players, graphics, file managers are straight forward and most people seem to be using the same group of apps. window managers and games are being discussed in other threads so the one of interests are:
Browsers since there is not one single killer browser yet. if only minimo was properly developed by its devs and made to work efficiently on linux rather than wince. does anybody use the old konqueror embedded browser which does not require kde installed?
PIM is something I have not used much at all and would like to hear more from people on what they use and why, what features they use/need, etc.
PDF viewers seem to be many and a bit unstable still. what is the current fav and most stable/functional?
Other Tools: there's been quite a few mentioned here and I think we need to discuss this more since there are probably lots of useful tools hanging around which not everybody knows about.
- scrot is great. i have integrated it into my screencap script
- chm, which is better: kchmviewer or xchm?
- fbreader vs opiereader? which one has better features?
- financial apps: grisbi, homebank, gnucash? anymore?
- streaming apps: vlc, amule, etc...?
