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".
