But have you looked at Krita lately? I had not used it for a while, and then, I installed it again yesterday. They have really been working on it. It looks very sophisticated.... but the html color selector does not seem to be easy.

I have been using this ever since I saw your post (I think it was your post) a couple weeks ago. Great program.

Glad to have shared that! Neat little package, isn't it?

It's fantastic. I started using it on all of my Windows machines at home. Works much better than what I had been using

Free Launch Bar (makes the quickstart menu nestable without doing too much)
SQLyog community edition (to fiddle with mysql database stuff, much faster than using a web interface)
BitKinex (very very good and free FTP client)

there's more, there's always more.. but those three I definately would not want to miss. Thunderbird has been mentioned already, that's a must, too. speaking of that, I also wouldn't be able to live without the IMAP protocol for email

You're such a geek nom ... but it's so cool

Email: Thunderbird, Claws and Mutt - depending on the computer I'm using.

Chat: Pidgin, XChat and Irssi

Graphics: GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus

Office: LibreOffice - it use to be OpenOffice but when Oracle took over most developers moved out and formed LibreOffice, wise move

Web: Firefox (7 and 10), Uzbl and xxxterm for browsing, Bluefish for web development, gftp for FTP and Liferia for RSS feeds

Multimedia: Mplayer and mpd/ncmpcpp

Games: Sauerbraten - I need to frag on a daily basis

All of the stuff listed above is open source and free to use - most is available for Windows too!

I've been using Thunderbird since I got a computer in 2005~when I got a mac I kept using it...sometimes think of trying out Mail but Tbird does work very well

@EphesiaNZ: thanks for your tips on Scribus and Sauerbraten. I put the former on my Ubuntu box and the latter on my MacBook Pro. I've never been much of a gamer, but I've been considering looking into it for relaxation.

Hey, no problem!

I'm not sure if Sauerbraten is classed as relaxation but I sure find it fun and a stress reliever
