WinOrganizer – ‘Outliner’ program with PIM featuresģD Arcade – frontend for various arcade/console emulators – build your own virtual arcades BTW: These are the main ones currently keeping me off of Linuxĭirectory Opus – best file manager in the world Don’t say you haven’t officially been warned, though.įirst, you guys might wanna check this out – it’s a list that belongs to a friend of mine:Īnyway, besides the apps that showed up on everyone else’s list, here are a few of mine that are (AFAIK) not on others’ list in this thread. I you want to play Russian roulette, go for it and install NAV 2005. Noone with an ounce of credibility would recommend that product even to Hitler. People in the industry know it and, increasingly, the average person is comming to know it. It is suffice to say that NAV is fundementally fuxored. I could get into the details of exacty WHY NAV is something not to be touched with a 10 foot pole, but my post is already long enough as it is. In any case, most of their customers are of the non-techncal sort. However, I can tell you fro personal experience that problems with this software are NOT a function of technical ability. Most of the reviewers are average users, so their skills are limited to be generous. The first 4-5 pages of reviews have ttles along the lines of “AVOID AT ALL COSTS”. As of about 2 weeks ago, ~120-130 people had given the product an overall 2/5. To get a sense of how bad things have gotten, go to Amazon and do a search for Norton Anti-Virus 2005. With the 2005 edition of their software, Symantec has jumped the shark, releasing what, for a lot of people, is a broken and unuseable piece of garbageware. NAV has gotten worse and worse over the last 4-5 years. Upon seeing their #1 recommendation of NAV for virus protection, I gave the remaing article only the most cursory of glances. There are a number of others, but those are, mostly, my essentials. GAIM for Instant messaging on various networks
Nvu for WYSIWYG web editing, if required, not essential by any stretch. The GIMP for web graphics, photo manip, etc. Mozilla Thunderbird for email, miles better than OE, and, for most home users, better than full blown Outlook. Kerio Personal Edition or Zone Alarm basic for firewall
