| Software | Score |
|---|---|
| emerald "Excellent for glassy, transparent window borders!" |

| synaptic "I use this and MintInstall equally, for different reasons. Both are great!" |

| indicator-me "Once you set it to offline, it doesn't let you change it back. HUGE bug that hasn't been fixed in a long time." |

| mintmenu "Not bad as these things go, but not my favorite menu. Theme doesn't match the default system theme at all - which gave me a bad first impression. A little awkward to use. A bit too Windows-like (I came from Mac, so don't like the Windows one-button-menu-on-the-bottom scheme, but can appreciate this menu's target audience). Have to move the mouse too far from the menu button to get to the applications, and I don't want ALL the apps I use clogging up the favorites list. I personally prefer the normal Ubuntu-like menu bar applet better. Good thing Linux Mint has so many options!" |

| openoffice.org-draw "Seems to me to be more of an attempt at a desktop publishing interface (like MS Publisher) than a strict graphics program. It has some good uses, in that respect (Scribus is best for that, though)." |
4 |
| openuniverse "Celestia is similar, but has a much bigger array of space objects you can look at, such as other stars, newly-found extra-solar planets, our entire galaxy from the outside perspective, etc." |

| picasa "Love this program, but wish there was a native Linux version instead of an old Windows version running on wine." |
4 |
| celestia-gnome "This does not work for me. When run, it simply freezes until I force it to quit. Terminal output gives no indication that there is a problem. I have to use the KDE version instead, although I would rather have a Gnome-based version.." |

| virtualbox-guest-additions "Makes Virtualbox work almost seamlessly with your system." |
5 |
| ubuntu-tweak "Excellent way to get the most out of your system!" |
5 |
| virtualbox-3.1 "Works great! The only way to run almost all Windows programs without dualbooting." |
5 |
| wine1.2 "Wish that it ran more software and up to my system's graphic potential. The few programs I can get to work run very slowly. Sadly it doesn't run .NET 3, 3.5, or 4, which eliminates many of the programs out there." |

| acroread "The only PDF viewer I've found that can use tabs for different documents. Doesn't handle them nicely, though." |

| rhythmbox "Decent iTunes alternative, especially with the Ubuntu store plugin added in." |
4 |
| skype "Must-have if you've got to VOIP call an average Windows user." |

| tuxpaint "My kids' favorite program by far!" |
5 |
| openoffice.org "Best office suite on any platform!" |
5 |
| handbrake-gtk "My favorite DVD/video file transcoder!" |
5 |
| scribus "Great!" |
5 |
| gimp "Excellent graphics program! If it doesn't have what you need, it's probably just a plugin away." |
5 |
| openshot "One of the easiest Linux video editors. Great!" |
5 |
| worldofgoodemo "Best Linux game I've seen, and when you buy the full version, you get all three Linux, Mac, and PC versions, in case you have any of those "other" OS's, too. Well worth the price for the full version!" |
