What are your must-have apps?
mahmud: Nearly all of my "must have" apps run on either the Mozilla or the Emacs platforms. If you give me a java runtime, I know where to get a ssh applet and from there I will find my way home, including a remote emacs session running under `screen` :-)Mozilla effectively functions as my desktop; I use firebug, scrapbook, chatzilla, Pencil sketching and prototyping GUIs, SQLite manager to design databases, and web developer plugin (along with things meant to keep the web safe and sane)But other than that:5) a PDF reader.4) Skype.3) Open Office, or similar package with good Arabic support.2) the unix toolchain, including GCC.1) A Common Lisp implementation (sbcl, lispworks, or CLISP.)0) putty or any other ssh client. Without SSH I can't function.[edit: readers may note that I treat GCC as a "tool" ;-]
