Eric Jahn Blog7-17-2007 My Favorite Software
Operating System
Debian Linux - one of the many Linux distros, but this one is truly world community-based, not led by a company like Ubuntu. companies get bought and then do wacky things.
Server Software
Plone - this site, and many others I host
Trac - version control/ticket tracking for software development and document versioning. also has a nice versioned wiki
Iceweasel - web browser (freer version of Firefox)
Gnome Desktop - my user interface on my laptops/desktops, but not servers
GnomePPP - for connecting my treo to my laptop with dial-up networking
OpenOffice - office suite
Liferea - linux feed reader
netapplet - gnome network monitor
vim - for system administration/remote as well for thin client stuff
Eclipse - for programming/designing when I have a thick client
The Gimp - graphics editing
Inkscape - vector graphics
rsync - command line program to sync directories over a network securely
Evolution - email client
xChat - IRC chat client
Programming Languages
Python - my day-to-day general purpose workhorse
C - dabbling in this to have a better understanding of open source software
Palm Treo 680 Software
CallFilter* - block calls with fine grained control
Versamail* - email client that works great with IMAP
Chattermail* - email client that works even better than Versamail with IMAP and receives instant messages from IMAP server for instant notification. Much more robust and worth every penny.
PocketTunes* - plays podcasts, ringtones, etc.
QuickReader* - RSS Feed Reader/downloading podcasts to SD Card
pSSH* - secure shell client for encryption over a network
