Preferred Applications

I’m constantly on the prowl for new and efficient applications to accomplish my everyday tasks in Ubuntu.  My main reasons for liking an application are; free, easy of use, works out of the box, speed, matches my theme, and community supported.  I don’t care if the applications has all of the ‘frills and thrills’ as long as it works.

Here is a list of my preferred applications:

• OS: Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS
• Internet browser: Google Chrome unstable
• Email: Gnome-Gmail
• Music player: Quod Libet
• Video player: VLC
• Editor: gedit
• Chat: Empathy
• File sync: Dropbox
• File launcher: Do
• Dock: Docky
• Scanning: Simple Scan
• Virtualization: VirtualBox
• Download manager: Uget
• FTP Client: FileZilla
• PDF ‘editor’: PDF Shuffler
• BitTorrent: Transmission

I will be blogging about some of the applications and how I use and modify them to my liking.
