If some think that Linux trouble with the software, then it is not, get rid of this stereotype! Programs in Linux too much! I want to look at the distribution Ubuntu, version 9.10. Six months ago I switched to Linux. Tried many distros, but stopped on Ubuntu. I do not know why, probably liked it. Ubuntu refers to the so- called, friendly distro where everything is simple and clear to use which does not need to have some special knowledge of programming, for example.

Personally for me a useless thing, but you can kill time. 9) Audiokonvertor. Convert your audio files. Here all clear. 10) Player VLC. I listen to music and watch video in it. In total player for Linux dam, look for what you like. 11) Fotovideobudka Cheese. Program to work with a webcam. 12) XSane Image Scanner. To operate the scanner. 13) BitTorrent client Transmission.
