What Distro And Programs Do You Use

[livinthailandos]

Im sure someone might have posted this on here. I am curious to know what programs and distro you are using. Mostly curious about your programs. For mine I'm on

Ubuntu 8.10

wifi radar for wifi connection

guarddog for a very easy visual GUI firewall

clamtk for virus scanning

abiword for word documents

vlc player for watching videos

Xchat for IRC chat

pidgin for myspace messanging

awn just so I can have a mac os x theme

nmap always nice to make sure for port scanning and dns look up

firefox with no script, adblock

screenlets Like have some widgets on my desktop

Rythmbox for my ipod. yes i know spelled it wrong

Desktops

Lxde

Kde

Gnome ( like having my compiz fusion box with 4 different screens is nice )

in terminal

youtube-dl helps get youtube videos easier for me

ffmpeg converting different video formats

elinks sometimes I just prefer basic text line reading that using firefox

nslookup

traceroute sometimes like to find out why it takes so long to get to a website

only things I'm missing that haven't been able to do is

VPN, would like something similiar to hotspot shield

look forward to all your postings

SuSE 11.0

Connect with eth0...

Use the built in SuSE firewall with almost no ports open....

Don't bother with anti-virus; let the Window weenies keep getting infected....

OO.org for all my office related work....

VLC also....

I use pigdin for all of my chat to include IRC....

Opera for web browsing...

Don't like widgets, in fact the way KDE 4.0 uses them drives me nuts...

Amarok for all my music, works ok with my ipod....

KDE 4.0 and 3.5 with some XFCE when I really want to work....

wget FTW (makes downloading all those naughty*.jpegs really easy)....

whois, cause I'm a nosy bastard...

transcode for my dvd->x.264 (use a template)...

VIM for quick edits of config files...

And finally, frozen-bubble for those times I need to release some stress...

Slackware 12.2 (a recent upgrade from Slackware 11) on a laptop

So far:

Fluxbox as my DE because I farking hate KDE and the irritating naming conventions they use

OO.org for work stuff

CUPS for printing

Transmission for sharing the slackware goodness

Xine & VLC for watching stuff

Amarok and XMMS for hearing stuff

skype for IM and calling

firefox for web stuff

Gkrellm (running in the slit and also viewable via ssh -X on the iMac when I get home)

Seamonkey for updating and editing webpages

CLI:

vi because I am stubborn

ssh because I actually have done most of my configuration by logging in from the iMac

whois because I am curious too

fbsetbg -l in a config file becaeue I am lazy

I did install wicd from the /extra folder but it didn't work well so after removing it I messed with a few config files and got connected.

Interesting list; I had forgotten about using Transmission.

Freespire is the only one that will actually boot to a desktop and connect to the net on my computer.

Well come on then, be a sport and tell us a bit about the computer in question!

Unless it has some very exotic hardware it would be strange if Ubuntu or Knoppix couldn't get to a workable desktop.
