What's your perfect setup?

[Grant A.]

What's your favorite software set-up for everyday use in Linux? Mine is:

DE/WM- Fluxbox
WM (If you opted for DE above):
Graphics Editing: GIMP
Web Browsing: Firefox
Terminal: Terminal
Chat/Irc: Pidgin, Irssi
Filer: ROX-Filer
Image Viewer: Mirage

I hate programs that "bundle" with something other than dependencies. I do love KDE though, and will use it as an alternative to fluxbox if I don't have my monthly allowance of 'blue'.
