[scragar]

Personal use:
Ktorrent
VLC
liferea
checkgmail
firefox
Work(web dev):
LAMP
quanta
opera
planner(time/project managing thing)

cplay
screen
mc

[chucky chuckaluck]

[cardinals_fan]

htop is first?
No, that was random. In proper order:

vim
screen
htop
cplay
mc

[myusername]

of course! who does anything other than using htop? i have it to autostart

[Rokurosv]

Hmmmmm, mine are:

Firefox
MPlayer
Kopete
Audacious
Scrot(I take a lot of screenshots)

[ac7ss]

firefox
evolution
ktorrent
bash :) / ssh
vi

It is surprising how much I use vi instead of firing up a gui editor. I feel I have to mention bash because I ssh to the server. I have it set up so that I can ssh from work (Windowz) to the server machine.

ksnapshot is 50x better than gscrot if you are taking screenshots of flash files.

[smartboyathome]

aria2

I use aria2 a lot as well, in the form of Powerpill on Arch Linux. It is very nice when you can download your updates faster than with a traditional download manager. ;)

(didn't realize ksnapshot had an editing and upload functionality!)
