rridgely Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I started this topic on another forum and didn't bother to edit it any. I sort of have been here for years anyway though so I don't think it really matters. Ok guys, some of us have been hanging out here for years and if you've been anything like me than you've probably installed/removed hundereds of programs by now. So now I'm curious after all this time have you found your select "set" of programs that you've decided on or do you still switch them out weekly/daily/whatever. I have definitely settled on my select programs that I've been using day in/out for the last year or more. I actually very rarely try new stuff anymore(shocking, I know). So if you've settled on your programs then what are they? Here is basically my pc in a nutshell: Browser: Firefox with adblock plus and firegestures. Office Suite: MS Office 07 Audio Player:WMP 11 Archive Program: 7zip Chat/IM: Pidgin PDF Reader:Foxit Pictures: Picasa(Still cant emphasize enough how awesome this program is) Cleaning/Tweaking: CCleaner, desktop maestro, autoruns Security: I have avast on my laptop currently and hijackthis Burning/Converting Music/ect: Ashampoo free, Foobar(lame mp3 encoding), dvd fab, shrinkto5 Thats pretty much it, out of all the stuff that I've used over the years this is pretty much all I use on a daily basis. When I reformat my computers these are the only programs I bother installing anymore. Quote
Eldmannen Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Well, now I mostly use Ubuntu Linux, and only start Windows once a month to fetch updates. But I still use some software in Ubuntu that I used in Windows, such as Mozilla Firefox, VLC media player and OpenOffice.org. In Ubuntu I use Rhythmbox (media player), Firefox (web browser), Evince (PDF viewer), OpenOffice.org (office suite). In Windows, I use Apache (web server) with PHP (web scripting) and MySQL (database server) for web-development. I also use VLC media player, 7-Zip, Miranda IM, OpenOffice.org. Quote
