> audacity

IMO the best sound editor on Linux. At least for users that don't use a
sound editor often. ;) Should stay on DVD. Maybe in some multimedia
pattern.

> aumix

Good for non-interactive usage. I use it for key bindings in my
environment. Maybe in some console pattern where also mutt and screen
resides.

> capisuite

I don't use it, but it would be a pity if that would be dropped from
DVD. This was developed @SUSE and ISDN is still used for fax ...

> ccache

I use that at home where I don't have that fast build machines. ;)
Should stay on DVD, in some development pattern where also gcc resides.

> ddrescue

That should be even in the rescue CD I think. :)

> ding

Very useful on laptops where you don't have an internet connection.
Should stay. I even would install it by default on KDE and GNOME. ;)

> gcal

Keep this. Basic tool. Uli needs that to write his mail. ;) Console
pattern.

> grip

Keep this! Very useful tools to rip CDs. One of the "just works" tool
that I really like. :) Multimedia pattern.

> gthumb

My favourite image browser. GNOME pattern.

> gtklp

Good alternative to kprinter. Keep this. I'd even add this in the Xfce
pattern.

> gv

Best Postscript viewer ever! Please keep. Maybe some "plain old X
applications" pattern.

> gvim

Hey, that's my most used application! Allows much nicer color schemes
than vim and also a better mouse usage [yes, I know :set mouse=a].
Please keep, maybe some deveopment pattern.

> jedit

Hm ..., don't use that any longer, but I used it as programming editor
for a long time. I still think that it's very nice. Depeding on which
Java we ship with the DVDs (only Sun or IBM Java has a complete Swing
implementation, IIRC) that might stay, too. Deveopment pattern.

> lftp

The best ftp client forever. Please keep! I'd even install that by
default. Console pattern.

> sshfs

I often use that at home to mount file systems over VPN. Keep. ;)

> unison

I use that for file synchronisation every day. One of the programs
that "just work". Please keep. Maybe the same "plain old X pattern" as
gv.

> units

Standard unix program. I'd even install that by default. Console
pattern.

> unix2dos

Console pattern.

> usbview

Doesn't work without usbfs. I wrote a patch to port to libusb but I
didn't get any response from Greg KH. I'd drop that package in current
state entirely.

> xcompmgr

Nice for "old" window managers. Please keep. Although I don't use it
currently.

> xosd

Since that contains the library ... I use that for an program that shows
the dektop name when switching desktops. Please keep. ;)

> xosview

Becoming nostalgic. :) vote++, "old X pattern".

> xpdf

See other discussion. Same pattern as gv.

> xv

My daily usage image viewer. Can read from stdin

  quilt graph|dot -Tpng|xv -

Not many programs can do this. "old X pattern".



Thanks for listening,
        Bernhard
