Favorite Debian packages?
Hello!
Given the huge amount of available packages it is difficult to know if you
have the best subset installed. Perhaps there are some less known "killer
apps" around that many people don't know about. Debian has some great
inventions like apt and kernel-package. What else is there that should get
greater attention for someone quite new to Debian?
So I ask you - what are your favourite packages, that you would install
again if you had a pretty bare-bones Debian box to set up as it suits you?
Or what packages are likely already installed that are perhaps not widely
known although very useful? I am especially interested to hear what packages
makes Debian easier to set up, administrate or enhances the "experience".
Some of mine include msttcorefonts (good true type fonts), multicd (to burn
cd-backups of directory trees), a2ps (any 2 postscript, pretty wellknown
perhaps), wget/curl (for downloading, probably also well known) etc.
Not many pure debianisms here, but I would love to hear of some!
Claes
