Software reviews
| Software | Score |
|---|---|
| gcc "THE compiler." |
5 |
| mercurial "Easy to use and works flawlessly so far." |
5 |
| scantailor "sehr praktisch zum nachbearbeiten von scans" |
5 |
| gpicview "may be fast - but essential feature missing: printing." |
3 |
| qgo "A decent virtual goban." |
4 |
| octave3.2 "i agree with m4daredsun. octave is a nice matlab-clone, almost (!) as good as the original. however, python + matplotlib + spyder is an open source concept that in many aspects already outruns matlab." |
3 |
| firefox "The standard." |
5 |
| gparted "What else do you want? Probably the best partitioning tool available." |
5 |
| giver "Handy tool especially for small networks." |
4 |
| diffuse "Wow. Just came across this one and I'm amazed. :) Much more comfortable for comparing large text-files than using command line diff." |
5 |
| exaile-plugin-moodbar "Spass!" |
4 |
| python-matplotlib "Powerful plotting tool and not really hard to learn. Combine it with ipython. It becomes really powerful if you know a bit of python, but you can start even without." |
5 |
| solfege "Fun and helpful tool." |
5 |
| gnuplot "Not bad, but syntax is a bit strange and there are many powerful alternatives today. Why e.g. not use matplotlib with ipython instead?" |
3 |
| vim-latexsuite "Well, if you want to use vim to edit TeX-files, install this of course." |
4 |
| mousepad "Nothing special, but works as expected." |
4 |
| emacs "Well... if you want a geeky editor, why not use vim?" |
2 |
| vlc "Plays almost everything, but sometimes it may crash." |
4 |
| exaile "Decent player, just beaten by banshee." |
4 |
| python-scipy "SciPy is the greatest free alternative to MATLAB known to me, even superior in many aspects." |
5 |
| geany "A good, solid editor with basic IDE features. For beginners and minimalists." |
5 |
| cgoban "Good goban, but better use the latest version from the kgs website." |
4 |
| xfig "The UI is terribly antiquated, but it's still one of the best free vector plot programmes." |
4 |
| qjackctl "The heart of every linux audio studio." |
5 |
| qtractor "Great Sequencer! Already very useable, and even more promising for the future." |
5 |
| startupmanager "Doesn't seem to work properly in mint 9." |
2 |
| conky-all "quite nice, but more of a geeky toy. if i just want to know what's going on on my computer, i use htop." |
4 |
| ipython "don't worry, it's no apple software! :-)" |
5 |
| gnome-system-monitor "Too heavy for a system monitor." |
3 |
| htop "very practical extension of "top". don't hesitate installing, it doesn't take any space on your disk. :-)" |
5 |
| vim "If you want to call yourself a geek, learn to use vim. :-) Once you are able to use it efficiently, it's really good + it impresses n00bs. :-)" |
5 |
| vim-gnome "The classic vi editor, in a neat GNOME costume." |
5 |
| gnome-mplayer "Nice gnome GUI for the best available video player." |
5 |
| mplayer "At the moment the best player available. Plays almost everything." |
5 |
| acroread "Fortunately, this heavy dinosaur becomes more and more dispensable. Still there are times when you might need it, because the open source alternatives fail." |
2 |
| mintmenu "This already is enough reason to love LinuxMint." |
5 |
| f-spot "It's good to have tool like F-Spot available. However, sometimes it seems a bit slow to me on my computer." |
4 |
| pybliographer "Nice and simple BibTeX editor. Support for some more formats would be very useful though." |
4 |
| banshee "My choice for GNOME - does everything I need, has a neat user interface and works flawlessly." |
5 |
| rhythmbox "No bad software, but has some flaws. I prefer banshee." |
3 |
| picard "Probably the best tagger available." |
5 |
| wxmaxima "Powerful, free CAS." |
4 |
| evolution "My favourite allround e-mail client. Powerful and easy to use." |
5 |
| lyx "TeX for everyone." |
