First Ten Programs on New Install?

Posted by Cliff on from the what-can't-you-live-without dept.

reddigitaldragon asks: "Some people re-install once a year, but if you're anything like me your machine is formatted at least once a month. After the OS is in, then come the favorite/must have/most used programs to install. My first installations for Windows (I use it; get over it): Trillian, Winrar, Firefox, Winamp, SmartFTP, Azureus, NMap, GKrellM, PowerDVD. What are your First 10 installed programs?" What are the first 10 programs you would install on a Windows machine? How about for a Unix machine?

    Ahh.. Linux, it truly is the best thing you can possibly install on a Windows box... with one exception. I really really really want to put Fedora on my Windows box, but FFXI won't let me. ;_;
