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.

i dig openOffice, evolution, bash. though i dont do alot on the command line, i like bash, and i have been getting more adventurous with a terminal. oh yeah, apt-get with synaptic. great app ;)
-
i use most often, mozilla, gaim, xmms, bash, openoffice, erm... konsole.... thats all i can think of.... oh... and civilization.
-
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.
-
Gaim
Mozilla
Evolution
XMMS and plugins/visualisation stuff
links - for when a GUI just isnt availiable
Gnome - not really a program but a damn good lookin window manager
MPlayer
X-Cd-Roast
bash - ofcourse
apt for rpm
Frozen Bubble (http://smile.gif)
ClanBomber - the coolest bomberman game ive ever seen
Nautilus
OpenOffice
Well its more than 10 but hey who gives a shit?
-
Emacs
Links
Wine
Mozilla
GAIM
GTK-Gnutella
GKrellM
OpenOffice
XMMS
Enlightenment

i agree 100%. that would rock. i would use it at work & probably get the rest of the office to use it. i got everyone to use mozilla ;)
-
those people who want to use evolution should get linux.

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 (http://smile.gif)

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.

gaim
zapping (TV!!!)
Mozilla (kicks IEs arse)
Return to castle wolfenstein (the linux version, heh)
gkrellm
xmms
gimp
wine
