[Bradford] Top ten

[John R Hudson]

Hi all

Can't get access to the forum at the moment but will post this to the correct 
thread once I do. Based on the comments up to the end of last week, here is 
another go at a top ten for comment/discussion/decision tomorrow.

Apache the server which powered the rise of the Internet and runs on most of 
the computers connected to the Internet – also available for you home or 
office network

Audacity: the top program for manipulating sounds and music from all sources

Chrome: a lightweight browser for those who want to get on and off the 
Internet quickly

GIMP (Linux only) superb graphics editing which will do everything and more 
than most people need

mysql the database used by many well-known names on the Internet to handle 
your queries; it can also be used as a backend to MS Access giving you the 
power of a commercial database but allowing you to continue using MS Access as 
your user interface

OpenOffice: an office suite to meet the needs of most offices and all those 
who need office facilities at home

Scribus: a desktop publishing program suitable for home users but written with 
commercial publishers in mind

Tomboy: a note-taking program which allows formatting of notes and links with 
email addresses and websites

Ubuntu (Linux only) a collection of Linux programs which offers a one-stop 
replacement for other operating systems or can also be run alongside Windows, 
giving access to both where a user needs Windows for some purposes

VLC: a media player to play CDs, DVDs and streaming audio or video from all 
sources.
