From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know most of you already know these apps or need something more advanced but I found them interesting so I thought I might as well share it here for those not familiar with them.

WARNING: one of the apps in the list (Plexamp) doesn't appear to be open-source so use it with caution.

boxy is awesome, one of those little programs that has a lot more going on than you first expect (as a very casual desktop user)

Any benign over InkScape if I'm ready proficient with InkSxape?

I haven't used inkscape too much as it's always kept crashing on me and feels unorganized, but if you are already used to it I'm sure it's easier to just stick with it.
