Programs to Install

Programs that I find useful for different tasks.

To install these programs download from the venders' website and run with GDebi Package Installer.

• Opera - Fast web browser with many features; my favorite
• Google Chrome - Fast web browser; good for using Google web apps
• Virtualbox - Virtual machine; run Windows or trial other OS's in a Virtual Machine
• TeamViewer - Remote assistance application
• Dropbox - Cloud based storage; up to 2 GB free, www.dropbox.com

To install these programs run the command from root:

# apt-get install xxxx

• Shutter - Screenshot software
• Inkscape - Vector graphics editor
• Pidgin - Instant messenger, better than Empathy; can connect to multiple services
• Scribus - publishing software, .pdf etc.
• Remmina - Remote desktop software

To install VLC Media player:

Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org wheezy main

Then run these commands:

# apt-get update

# apt-get install deb-multimedia-keyring

# apt-get install vlc
