Programs you use and love

[Jedeye]

I am still somewhat new to linux/opensouse and it has been blowing my mind! I absolutly love the availability of software that is out there. Realizing the amount of programs out there I began to worry that I was missing out on something really good. So I was just wondering what programs you guys use on a daily basis. Recently I found out about F-Spot and I think its great, I have also been using the gimp some, Gaim, Evolution, OpenOffice, and Fire fox.

Anyway, let me know what you guys love!

Well, I have a few basics I start first when I boot my computer:

Evolution - for mail, contacts and calender
Firefox - my favorite browser
Liferea - a great feedreader. Can't live without RSS anymore...
GAIM - I use it for my ICQ and Jabber account

If I like to chat I start my X-Chat.

For graphics: GIMP and Inkscape

Hear my music with Amarok oder Beep-Media-Player

Put MP3s on my iPod nano: GTKPod

For uploading things via ftp: gFTP

Make HTML-Pages: bluefish

That's my basics. Certainly I use many more like OpenOffice, gedit, TVTime... and, and...

I would second the message above and add K3B for burning DVD/CD's and Grip for ripping MP3's. Also Easytag is pretty cool for cleaning up the filename/tags in your MP3 folder

Oh yes! I forgot GRIP and Easytag! Very cool programs indeed!

And camorama for my webcam.

for music, I prefer XMMS. its not a memory hog like amarok and it doesnt require a database to manage music. What I do is I tell it to play any music in such directory and it does just that.

as a windows manager, fluxbox. Again, not a memory hog like gnome or kde.
word processing-abiword. same reason as others.

can I change music from mp3 to a normal cd format with grip? there some jpop songs I have as mp3 but my g/f would like to listen to them on her cd player..

I use all the programs already mentioned: I would add to the list just a few a bit more specific:
Gkrellm, to monitor the system,
Beagle, to find out data among files of every kind,
Serpentine to burn audio CD
and Anjuta if you are interested in C programming (it's an IDE).
