I opened this topic to people who want to share interesting suggestion of useful software.
This topic has the same proposal of topic in MandrivaBrasil Forum, created in 2008 ("Have you found an interesting free software? Tell us!), with 21315 visits (in 3 yaers), demonstrates the interest of peaple to find interesting and useful applications. Thinking about it, I opened a similar tópic in MageiaBrasil forum "Have you found a nice software? Share it here! ", and now, I opened one here.
Below, I list some interesting software that I found when I did a table "Linux Application table for MAGEIA 1":
1 - Very good "DraftSight 2D CAD" (note: with the exception of "DraftSight 2D CAD", all other software listed are available in "Mageia 1" default repository, and can be easily installed with a few clicks)
2 - I was surprised by the large amount of good software for managing finances (I only knew the first two):
- a) KMyMoney
b) GNUCash
c) Grisbi
d) Skrooge
e) Homebank
3 - I was also surprised by the large amount (7) of good software for music production.
- a) LMMS
b) Ardour
c) Hydrogen
d) Rosegarden
e) MusE
f) Qtractor
g) Tuxguitar
4 - "MyPaint" I found very interesting image editing with very useful tools.
5 - "Iceape" (Mozilla Corporation software rebranded by the Debian project) - Suite Internet: email, browser. web page editor, IRC chat, etc..
6 - "Chromium-browser", Google Chrome browser in the free version for linux.
7 - "Fwbuilder" Firewall did not know and has a site with a lot of use guidelines, but still very complicated.
8 - "Zim-wiki" - is a tool for organizing personal notes made with a wiki software - very practical - especially for those who have notions of wiki editing (to create pages and folders -> "folder:pages" and only), I found very interesting. I think it has the same function of "Basket Note", but with structure proper, tools and a different format.
9 - "Sigil", Ebook Editor (I didn't know existed ebook editor, ebook thought that was generated and then edited in PDF format).
10 - Interesting graphical tools for hardware:
- a) "Qpxtool" - Test CD / DVD Drive - Check the integrity of the drive cd/dvd.
b) "GSmartControl" - HD Inspection Tool - is front-end of Smartmontools, (Check the integrity of HD).
c) "Palimpsest" (gnome-disk-utility, tb smart front end) - disk utilities in graphical mode.
d) "testdisk" (retrieves information lost in HD) - disk utilities in graphical mode.
e) "fslint" (find and clean junk files in the system eg . duplicate files). I have not tested yet, so I'm not sure how they work - disk utilities in graphical mode.
11 - FreetuxTV - internet TV, Webtv - is very practical, excellent, worked well in a Mageia 1 - (see tips in MageaBrasil Forum)
12 - Minitube - Youtube client - is very practical, excellent, worked well in a Mageia 1 - (see tips in MageaBrasil Forum)
Cheers!
