Anyone want to recommend some software for Linux?

[Ventus]

Well I just killed my windows on my old Toshiba Laptop. And promptly installed Lubuntu 12.10 on it.
So far I'm liking how this Ubuntu spin off is. it works pretty fast on these specs.

Toshiba satellite Laptop
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.40Ghz
RAM: 1.00GB DDR
VIDEO: Intel extreme Graphics, 64MB
HARD DRIVE: 120GB


All I'm doing right now is just messing around with it, But I was wondering.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what software is a must have for a Linux system?

Heck I don't know if there is any Linux users here, But I thought I would ask .

Gimp for images.

Use Wine to experiment with emulating Windows to run programs you previously used.

Thanks, I'll get them this weekend.

Pidgin for all communication stuff.

Chromium is I believe the Linux version of Google Chrome.

GIMP is super pro on Linux. (Your photoshop equivalent/successor).

LibreOffice for your office needs.
Zelda Classic, of course. :3

Yep, Pidgin will be gotten asap along with chromium and Gimp.
Heck right now I'm using Chromium on my Windows 8, It seems to work better then the google version :|

Yeah I need to get both of those.
Hey is Zelda classic available through the software center?. Or do I have to install from the .tar?

You'll have to install from the .tar.

Oh that should be fun. I suck at installing things from .tar, It should be easy but I somehow make it harder then it should be >_>.

OH, you definitely want Guake terminal. I think Guake2 has been out for a bit too. You will never use the regular terminal again.

ZC hasn't really been adapted to Linux at all; it just keeps everything in its own directory, as it has since the DOS says. Just unzip it somewhere in your home directory.
The launcher doesn't work via desktop link, so if you want one, you ought to use ZC Manager instead. EIther that, or you need a shell script.
