what do you mean "top 10"? like... the 10 best? I couldn't really say for sure, most things can be run in other operating systems so it's not just linux. i like gimp, bash, mozilla, mysql, and open office. I could name a few more, but I'm in a hurry.

Oh, and don't forget all those little games linux tends to come with, those are great.

the top ten apps on linux I use are (in no particular order):

Evolution
Openoffice
Mozilla
Gimp
Gnome terminal
cdrecord
Warcraft 3 (not a linux program but it runs on linux)
aMSN
gtk-gnutella
vi

I think a *lot* of people use the first 3 I mentioned.  Frankly evolution is so good they should port it to windows and OSX so people can use it as a replacement for Outhouse.

My favorite programs, in order:

1. KDE
2. XMMS w/ KMMS
3. GAIM
4. Konqueror
5. Gimp
6. Mplayer
7. Kate
8. Eterm
9. Limewire
10. KDevelop
11. Quanta
...
15 (or so): WINE

Once WINE hits beta stage it will probably go to around 7/8 depending on how well it works

i would love to be able to do that here at the office. but we are an architectural firm dependent on Autocad. which is only produced for windows (fuck autodesk  :mad:  ). we could get something like archicad (yes, kick ass program) and can choose to use it on either mac or windows. i dont think linux has a drafting app that could replace autocad. its too bad. i guess i could write autodesk a letter. anyways. it would be nice to use evolution at work, even if we cant use linux.

Why would you want to promote a program that encourages developers to not make native linux applications?

Because it could encourage windows users to try linux. Perhaps a large enough number for software companies to take notice.
