Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the need-a-steady-diet-of-#-/*-and-// dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I prefer software that takes as little hard drive space and RAM as possible. I can't stand bloated software like iTunes, as compared to Foobar or classic Winamp; or Windows Media Player, as compared to VLC or Media Player Classic. What are some of your favorite applications which are a little less bloated?"

    I love putty. It's great. There's also a companion program called putty knife that you can put in your quick launch. When you hit it, a list of all your saved connections pops up. Very sweet combo. Combine this with shared keys and such and I'm two clicks away from a terminal on any server I have access to.
