Inspired by recently finding the excellent Path Finder, I’ve posted a list of my must-have software packages.
What’s on your list?
Social 2.5
I’m very pleased to share version 2.5 of Social with you. Brought to you by our good friends at MailChimp (see their blog post), Social is a…
1) Tasks (but of course!)
Googlizer [which i have also tweaked to open ANY url in the X clipboard]
2) Gentoo Linux
3) Apache [with mod_php]
4) FluxBox
5) XMMS
6) GKrellm2
7) wmdrawer [app launcher]
9) Open Office
10) Evolution
Since you were probably expecting WIndoze-type sw, this is what I use when forced to use Windoze (and it’s all *free*ware):
MobyDock [freeware app launcher that has same mouseover effect as Mac OSX]
Blackbox for Windoze (bb4win) [replaces Explorer.exe as your 'window manager']
JSPager [creates multiple virtual desktops] (unfortunately its web page is MIA but I have the .zip file if anyone wants it)
Shell WM [lets you 'skin' all your windows]
Atomic TimeSync [makes it easy to use NTP to keep your clock correct]
WinPatrol [keeps a constant eye on your system: watches for viruses, adware, spyware, etc]
SSHD (using OpenSSH and Cygwin)
PuTTY [telnet/ssh client]
TightVNC [for remote desktop control]
and Gaim! how could i forget Gaim! (i use it on Linux and Windoze)
Great links, thanks!
