I use the following:
vifm - a vi inspired midnight commander replacement.
vim - text editing/viewing (PAGER=vim)
fbi - image viewing
elinks - web
wget - downloading
wcalc - calculator
transmission - bittorrent
I haven't moved from Amarok for music, but I am looking
at moc (music on console) and the xmms2 CLI front-end.
cdcd, cdtools and workbone are CLI cd players. Doug, is
cdtools the package with the cdplay you mentioned?
For IRC/Instant Messaging there are a number of options.
Cabber - Jabber
CenterIM/CenterICQ - multi-protocol IM
tmsnc - MSN
bitlbee - all IM to irc gateway, use with any IRC client
irssi now has plugins for xmpp (jabber) and icq
irc: irssi, ircii, epic4, scrollz, sirc, tinyirc
Cheers,
Kelly Clowers
