3 |

3 |

4 |
| skype "the newer versions, 4.3, are working quite well, for those who want to share private contacts with Microsoft" |
1 |

4 |

5 |

4 |
| php5-common "great" |
5 |
| php5-mysql "essential" |
5 |
| php5 "great if seperated from html by template files, but horrable if messed up with html in one file" |
5 |
| phpmyadmin "easy to handle and all the database on a glance" |
5 |
| glibc-doc "great source to understand the C language (if used with the source code of the library and use cases)" |
5 |
| findutils "essential ! to get the best experience, combine the results of find with for/in/do loops (if -exec and xargs don't get the job done)." |
5 |
| gnome-mines "good trainer for hand eye coordination and combinatorics as well" |
5 |
| adblock-plus "paid backdoors, but a first aid for beginners" |
2 |
| xul-ext-greasemonkey "great" |
5 |
| firefox-locale-ca "molt bé" |
5 |
| firefox-vimperator "good idea, but i think in xombrero they made a better job cloning vi keys" |
2 |
| gcc "including reproduce itself from code, gcc can do everything digital!" |
5 |
| sed "Search and replace in one ore more files without theneed to open/view them. Sed scripts allow more complex operations including comments. Missing compatibility modes for regular expressions (e.g. many regexp tools offer compatibility to Perl syntax). Output needs to be stored in a file different from input file which is often inconvinient." |
4 |
| elinks "great and handy terminal web browser tabbed browsing; even for users not familiar with the terminal cause everything is based on menus (press <esc>) and dialogs" |
5 |
| lynx "great formatted text rendering of websites and pdf files; handy saving as formatted text file; vi related control; good solution if history based browsing is sufficient and tabbed browsing is not needed" |
4 |
| vim "Why play a 3D game, if VIM plays as many dimensions as your harddisk has textfiles? <br />Everything will be difficult until you invest 30 minutes in vimtutor (not the longest 30 minutes in your live ;-)" |
4 |
| grep "shows the essence of your text and log files " |
5 |
| nano "simple, single mode and easy to use text editor which always shows the most important commands, context sensitive which is rare at the terminal. therefore the learning cruve is flat, on one hand, but commands are less intuitive than most other editors." |
4 |
| less "featurerich and fast multi textfile browser which makes huge files easier to handle than any graphical software; standard paging by >space> and >b>; half pages by >ctrl>+>d> and >ctrl>+>u>; many VIM commands like / for search; but never forget the <q> to close it finally ;-)" |
5 |
| kde-full "Best choice for all who really work on the native Software like KDEnlive, KDEvelop, Calibre Office, kmail, Kompozer and so on ... Everything well integrated but a little different, better try it on your faster machine ;-) if you like conservative looks leave it, if you need special looks love it!" |
4 |
| lxde "very puristic and tidy, fully reliable and unbelivable economic. It turns your legacy hardware which needs 15 minutes for a start under M$ to a useful working device; even the best choice for some occasionally started special purpose virtual machine which is planned to use between 256MB and 512MB RAM." |
5 |
| cinnamon "Best choice for former Vista lovers to upgrade their windows! To me it's too much of everything, baroque style. On a virtual machine it caused the fan of my laptop to make noises like a jet fighter; the reason was an issue on 3D graphics under virtualbox, maybe solved nowerdays." |
