| wicd "I had trouble with the default network applet, but wicd fixed my wireless issues."  | 
									5 | 
| synaptic "When it comes to GUI package managers, I think synaptic is one of the best. If you ever switch to a distro without it, you'll miss it sorely. It's great!"  |

| texlive-latex-base "LaTeX is a must-have if you do any sort of scientific or mathematical writing. Even if you don't, it's a beautiful way to typeset documents, and I would recommend it to any writer who's serious about the output quality of their work."  | 
									5 | 
| openoffice.org "I like Openoffice, but its days seem to be numbered. Libreoffice, of course, owes a lot to this suite, and seems to be the way to go in the near future."  | 
									4 | 
| skype "Skype is all right on linux, but its performance could be better (and it would be nice to be out of beta sometime!). I use it if I have to, but I'd much prefer to see an open-source or free alternative someday."  | 
									3 | 
| firefox "I trust firefox to be secure, especially because of addons like noscript. It's a great, reliable browser."  |

| vlc "VLC is fast, versatile, and cross-platform -- love it!"  |
