Re: Vote for your preferred apps

Boot Loader: Grub2
I think it's better, after you finally learnt it.

Archive Manager: file-roller.

File Manager: PCManFM. It suits my netbook much better.
Let's hope that PCManFM2 will be usable soon.

FTP/SSH: FileZilla

Network Managers: Network-Manager

Office Apps: OpenOffice.org

System Monitors: Conky, lxtask
I find LXtask much more useful than htop.
How about a new Conky default config? Hanna? =o)

Other: Wpro, Gdebi, Parcellite, Volwheel
Wpro, for those who haven't used it is an improved version of Wget. Downloads mms, rtsp and more.

Just a reminder: please make counting easier for me by putting the categories in order. Alphabetical is OK.

Edit: also please leave out the categories if you have no preference.

Re: Vote for your preferred apps

Please let me preface my words by saying that I love #! and I'm not here to speak poorly of this wonderful OS; I've used it as my main OS since the first release. 

Software applications are really a matter of personal preference.  My request would be to keep the list of apps pretty short and allow the user to customize his/her machine.  Instead, there could be a page on the #! website or in the forums that was devoted to a listing of suggested applications to try out.  #! has helped me to learn about what I want for my OS to look, feel and act like.  It has taught me that I don't need Gnome or KDE to survive, nor do I need the bloat that accompanies them.  Please keep #! light and let the user decide on which general applications to install.

My request: Grub2, gdm or slim, network-manager, Tint2, terminator or xterm. 

Thank you to all who are working hard to bring us an excellent new release of CrunchBang!

synaptic is an awesome tool when searching for deps or just browsing

I might list some more but those are the ones I tend to use from the top
of my head. I also didn't list stuff I hardly use even though I like
some of them and also refrained from stuff I wasn't all that sure about.

Just voted in a few categories where my preferred apps need my help

Bootloader: Grub legacy
Diplay/Login Managers: GDM
File Managers: pcmanfm
Music Players: audacious
Network Managers: wicd
System Information: hardinfo

and non-categorized i suggest including:

xsmbrowser: all of us need to access files via smb sometime and no nautilus here to make it easy... so we need this

aka xylox at irc
aka aaro2011 at Deviantart

btw. you could merge geeqie and gqview votes as they are the same app other than name. (ie. gaim-pidgin.) In other words, gqview is not in active development and geeqie is continuum from the same codebase.

Browser : Firefox
Text editor : vim
Video Player : VLC
Image editor : Gimp

Other: Build essential

These are the basic things I need. There are other things but I think they might not match with the taste of everyone else. For example I want Audacity but that application is a special case and not everyone would need it. So adding it would only make the iso bigger. If application installation is easy, we don't have to worry about  adding everything in default installation. And also I believe people who love #! really know what they do. So we don't have to babysit each other.

The spirit of #! is minimalism. I loved it for being the lightweight distro with lots of neat command line and fat free GUI tools. It's awesome to see the community actually contributing and people who make the distro are listening to them.

#! so far made the best out of the box experience for _GNU/Linux geek_. And I love to see this continuing better and stronger.

Best of luck #!.

Re: Vote for your preferred apps

I'll vote on a few items here...
