pandoc
"useful idea and good to have on the command line. i found a couple weaknesses with markdown to html."
3
tmux
"with tmux you can run persistant sessions on a remote terminal; if you have a big screen it can be very handy to split your terminal into panes. for example read man pages on the left, and try out the information on the commandline in the right pane."
5
mc
"puts all effort into effinciency and none into fashionable looks"
5
keepassx
"great tool to stay secure through all the login accounts"
5
krename
"best choice if you like KDE and qt"
5
gprename
"good bulk renaming tool, where pyrename is still ahead"
4
pyrenamer
"most powerful renaming tool, but not a beginners choice ;-)"
5
gnome-commander
"oldfashioned but usseful layout. user defined shortcuts, two panes for better moving between directories, good menu and remote access. plugins!"
5
thunar
"simple, but fast and good usability. have a look to the search and bulk rename tools of the project"
4
dolphin
"Powerful filemanager including two panes and user defined shortcuts. Good designed menubar.d"
5
screen
"very important is the persistent sessions feature especially while journeys through regions with weak connections. For splitting screens on the terminal <a href="http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/tmux">tmux</a> might be better."
5
apt
"most useful line is <br />sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"
5
shutter
"best choice !"
5
vim-tiny
"best usage of this vim package on very old hardware, first versions of Rasperry Pi and virtual webservers as well"
3
task
"good task manager, maybe the only one which is meant to manage tasks while all others are created to be a programming exercises"
4
kexi
"good ideas. be cautios with the sql button when opening queries (at least if the database type is "file"). there are two features missing to create a productive database user interface: listboxes (or a datagrid) and subforms"
2
calligraplan
"firdt planning tool i found which looks simple enough to be encouraging. it seems to make things easier not more complicated"
4
karbon
"vector graphics in the simple way"
3
calligraauthor
"A new eBook publishing tool with the look and feel of calligra words."
4
krita

5
calligrastage
"yet another presentation software. but it's freeware""
3

5
calligra-l10n-ca
"molt bé! the most underestimated language in europe ;-)"
5
calligrasheets
"i am looking forward to the next version hoping all funtctions, menus, taskbars, panels will move into the ribbons on the right side into the ribbons. then we have lot's of space left to work. right now we feela little bit squeezed between past and future ;-)"
4
calligra
"funny idea to have menus and a almost naked toolbar while moving the ribbons to the side pane. On contemporary screens there is more space at the side bar and even menus and taskbar should move there. the important features seem to be complete. Another reason to leave M$"
5
bash
"mighty and the most used shell because it is the most used shell ;-) if you are not depending on the 'feature' it's already everywhere installed (even OSX) have a look to zsh. before you start working on it read <a href ="http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls">bash pitfalls</a>- it will save you plenty of time and feelings of torture ;-)"
3
midori
"starts fast, renders somewhat slowly; good choice for looking up very few pages. It,s depending on zeitgeist, therefore downrated"
1
pacman
"i thought it's a package manager ;-)"
2
sqlite
"outdated. see: <a href="http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/sqlite3">SQLite3</a>"
1
sqlitebrowser
"would be better if the different views could be arranged next to each other (instead of hiding each other))"
3
sqliteman
"good tool to develop SQL statements and make a first test"
5
sqlite3
"funny datase engine for any purpose without rights management. therefor slim and rapid"
5

1
opera
"vivaldi.com... good to know"
3
ed
"funny retro tool, texteditor without viewing the text, strange regex syntax. It feels like handling a file with echo >> and tr ... useful in scripts to edit files more beautyful without redirection"
4

5

"great! see also htmltidy"
5

5

vim-common
"interesting package to checkout advanced features of vim"
5

4
