"Lovely. Where would the world be without terminals?"
5

5
cowsay
"Puts me in a good mood. I find myself opening the command promt even when I don't need to just to take a peek at what the cow has to say."
4
hardinfo
"Useful...works... what else ya need?"
5
gdebi
"Makes my world so much easier. Gotta love those .deb packages."
5
startupmanager
"Good stuff."
4
mintupdate
"Love it. Simple to use. I wish Windows would let you update quickly and not have to restart every single time I perform an update. Linux does not have that problem."
5
rhythmbox
"A better replacement for Windows Media Player. Organizes my songs well and does not have the overkill that Windows Media Player does.."
5
openoffice.org-writer
"I love it, but it is suppose to be a replacement for MS Word, but when my teachers open my finished projects on their Word programs they look all messed up. It claims that it will format things just like Word, but I have not been able to get it to do so."

xchat
"It's ok. I have trouble navigating my way to the kind of rooms I want."
3
firefox
"Love all the options. Significant speed improvement from IE. I still prefer firefox over chrome because of all the plugins and addons that firefox offers."
5
ffmpeg
"Very powerful tool. Hard to master the command lines, but once you do the world of video editing and converting is at your finger tips."
5
recordmydesktop
"Works well. Does the job without any hitches. Use the command line to chose more formats for the finished video."
5
transmission-gtk
"Simply wonderful. Light program that gets the job done. I love programs like that."
5
shotwell
"I like it so much better than f-spot. However I am not a big fan of programs that move and organize things for me. I am fickle and they never organize them the way I want them too."
4
pidgin
"Works great for what it is suppose to. I am not able to use the advanced features that the original programs would offer. Would rather have Yahoo Messenger than logging into Yahoo from Pidgin."
3
mintmenu
"Wonderful. Took me a minute to get used to, and now I can't imagine not having it."
5
thunderbird
"Personally I like it better than evolution... but I suppose it is all a matter of what you are used to. Whatever floats your boat."
5
gimp
"Fantastic. Does everything you need for advanced or simple editing. The only drawback is that it is difficult to learn to use."
4
cheese
"Sooo simple to use. It works without any hitches and I don't have to do any thinking or configuring to make it work great."
5
virtualbox-ose
"Great software! It does not emulate your graphics card (instead it creates its own) so gaming is almost impossible, but there is always wine for gaming."
5
wine
"It is a must have for Linux. The only reason it misses a few points is because it might be really hard to use for complete noobs. More often than not you need to install other software to make the programs work. This is not easy for noobs."
4
kdenlive
"This program works fantastic! I am able to do all the fancy editing I would like to do. The only downturn is that I keep getting an error that my home file is not accessible. Other than that its a complete thumbs up!"
4
k3b
"Much better than Brasero. K3B will actually burn .iso files without errors, which is something I could not accomplish on Brasero."
5
playonlinux
"Helps you to install everything needed to run a program. Comes with lots of preconfigured profiles to automatically download everything you need. I got rid of Windows because I can play my games now."
