What are some of the linux must have apps?


Hi everyone. I have just started using the Linux operating system and I have no idea about the applications that are famous with the Linux. I need to get some bit of awareness about that. What are some of the linux must have apps? I believe that some or many of you might just be using this operating system only and that would not be a tough question for you to answer. Please make sure that when you answer this, then you also tell me something that is cool about Linux apps. Awaiting for the response!

Hey I am also using Linux and as now I am on holiday so whole day I keep on using it and now I have noticed some of the applications I use more often than others. You download a numbers of apps in your Linux , The applications vary from music players, browser, photo management, disc burning tools and email clients etc etc. The list just goes on and on, so I cannot list all but I am listing some of my favorite for you.

1. Unison is one of the best backup programs that are so much popular for the new Linux users. With the help of this you will be capable of backing up files and folders to local and remote locations.

2. Mondo is a text-driven system backup & restores utility. It is reliable and works well with a range of file systems.

3. Opera is among the solid browser and as you know that it works so well and you can open lots of windows as the same time using app.

4. Guake is a semi-transparent drop-down console and this software is always ready at the tip of your fingers.

5. Virtual Box is a must for you if you want to run another/multiple operating systems within an operating system (OS).
