English Open Chat
1

I was wondering if any of you users, with a great deal of experience with openSUSE… would be able to compile a list of the top 5-10 applications to install for opensuse that don’t come along with the dvd… :stuck_out_tongue:

Just to make it more interesting…

Things like:

-Google Earth
-amsn
-VLC Media Player

maybe any multimedia software packages…

I would be very grateful! :slight_smile: Thanks! lol!

lacie lightscribe app

tovid / devede / mandvd / your favorite authoring tool

5

For me?..Hmmm…Only 5?
Wine/Photoshop CS
Qdvdauthor
LaCie-Lightscribe
Civilization 4 (via Wine)
SMPlayer

I’d also have to add various Firefox extensions along with proprietary accelerated 3D video drivers, Notepad++ (via Wine). My list could go on…:wink:

I’d go with:

Google Earth
Thunderbird
mplayer plug-in for Firefox
Quanta Plus (I’m not a web designer, just a hobby!)
The un-crippled version of KTorrent from the Packman repo

Its okay if its on the dvd, :slight_smile: I just meant things you have to install yourself, from the net or dvd. I should of said “not installed by default” but thats okay! :smiley:
