Daily Use Software

Software I use on a daily basis.

G	GKSu Community rating: 4 Notes: I'm pretty sure I'm using this - it should be replacing KDEsu, not that I'm using GNOME, right?
	TightVNC Community rating: 3 Notes: This is a really excellent piece of software, needing only a couple things: 1) on-the-fly-re-sizable desktops from the client side (want to resize the window and get the desktop to re-size/re-draw, 2) built-in SSH tunnelling.
	Tango Desktop Project Community rating: 4 Notes: I'm finding I like the Tango colors and icons [some of them] - I will see what else their offering - didn't realize it was a "Desktop Project.
	RPM Community rating: 3 Notes: I like RPM and YaST - the Aptitude+Dpkg+apt combination used by Debian derived systems is "okay" and arguably more powerful, but remains less intuitive and just harder to use than RPM. The various distros need to standardizer the filesystem layout for RP
	Clam AntiVirus Community rating: 3 Notes: Only using this on Windows, and only the version from PortableApps.com (loaded to a USB stick). Seems nice, but I haven't found any virus yet, so .... does it work? ;)
	GNU GRUB Community rating: 4 Notes: Using this. Not convinced it's any better or worse than that other boot loader... the "unified" in "GRand Unified Bootloader" seems over-stated to me - /what/ does it unify? Other bootloader configs, perhaps? I wish.
	GNU Core Utilities Community rating: 4 Notes: man pages, ladies - could we get some man pages? Up-to-date? How about Distro-specific? luzers, or just lazy, are you? The 'info' format sux. Too hard to use. Too many keystrokes. And not enough information quickly enough.
	Gnash Community rating: 4 Notes: Have only been able to get this to work once, stand-alone. Does not work as a browser plugin, in my experience.
	GNU findutils Community rating: 4 Notes:
	Nautilus Community rating: 3 Notes: I want a functional location bar, with the ability to browse fish://, ssh://, or sftp:// URL-linked sites. Does that work in Nautilus? I'm doing it, but I'm never sure if it's nautilus or one of the other file managers.

What is a Stack?

It's a list of software used to accomplish something. LAMP is an example.

To add a project to your stack, click 'Show Recommendations for this Stack' at the top middle of this page and then click 'I use this' on the projects you use.
