Best Linux software

This is a collection of links about software that I use on linux. Almost links are related to programs that run under the GNOME Desktop Environment. Ok, I like GNOME... :-)
| Internet | ||
| Mozilla | www.mozilla.org | These are some of the most popular browser under Linux. I think Mozilla is the best one, but Galeon has won the favors of many users. Galeon and Skipstone are based on Mozilla's web page rendering engine, Gecko. |
| Galeon | www.sourceforge.net | |
| Skipstone | www.muhri.net | |
| Evolution | www.ximian.com | Mail clients. Evolution is the best project I know but it is on beta status. Pronto is very usable when coupled with a database like MySQL or PostgreSQL. Balsa is very light and nice. |
| Balsa | www.balsa.net | |
| Pronto | www.muhri.net | |
| Pan | pan.rebelbase.com | The best news reader on Linux. |
| XChat | xchat.org | The best IRC client of the world. |
| GnomeICU | www.sourceforge.net | Good ICQ client. |
| Graphics | ||
| The Gimp | www.gimp.org | Only two words: the best! |
| GQView | www.sourceforge.net | GQview is a good images viewer with thumbnails preview. gThumb is a thumbnails previewer with viewer capability and more. |
| gThumb | www.sourceforge.net | |
| Multimedia | ||
| XMMS | www.xmms.org | XMMS is a good (not only) mp3 player with a lot of plug-ins and skins. Grip is a new CD player and an interface for the manipulation of audio tracks. Glame will be the Gimp of the audio, a very good project. |
| Grip | www.nostatic.org | |
| Glame | www.sourceforge.net | |
| Others - WORK IN PROGRESS! | ||
| Mozilla | www.mozilla.org | These are some of the most popular browser under Linux. I think Mozilla is the best one, but Galeon has won the favors of many users. Galeon and Skipstone are based on Mozilla's web page rendering engine, Gecko. |
