Check the preferences. I'm pretty sure you can turn that off.

--- Quote from: worker201 ---Some software I recommend:
transcode: CL tool used to re-encode video/audio from one format to another. Best used in conjunction with...
dvdauthor: a CL set of tools to produce your own dvd menus
bluefish: a graphical syntax highlighting editor specifically designed for web development, it also does tag completion and site management
firestarter: gui interface to iptables, makes firewall configuration a breeze
mplayer, gimp, xmms, gaim: they may be common, but they're good
Of course there are some programs I don't like very much. Lately, ggv has been giving me a lot of problems. And the number of free hi-power vector programs is still lacking (no thanks to me!). So there's still a lot of work to be done.

You just listed every type of software you would ever need. I used Bluefish until i got a Mac :macos:. Now I use Textedit. But all good software.

--- Quote from: Pathos ---gnumetric is very nice as is abiword.

I agree on Abiword, but I regret to say that my experience with Gnumeric has been, at best, dismal. It's a beautiful program, and it does everything a spreadsheet ought to do and more (the best designed since Quattro4, in my opinion). But it crashes like a motherfucker. Can't work three minutes without it tanking. And I wasn't able to upgrade thanks to dependency conflicts. Last time I checked, Gnumeric had a long way to go before it gets to sit on a "best free apps" list.

GAIM, the instant messenger client.
amarok, best music application I've ever used.
k3b, best cd/dvd burning application I've ever used.

You use a cd/dvd burning application? Why?
