Firefox is somewhat of an opposite of Opera. When you’ve downloaded and installed this browser, you will find a piece of software doing little more than browsing the net. You’ve got a bookmark manager alright, a password manager, but there’s no email client. Firefox is what you call a ‘slim’ browser initially focusing on one single task: to browse the net.
Without doubt – our favourite. Possibly for all the wrong reasons – as ImgBurn comes with a very Spartan, minimalistic look and feel.
Most certainly our first choice. The most impressive capability of this program is its tolerance toward read errors on your probably old (and sometimes dirty) Audio Disks. Very rarely indeed will that result in an error in the sound file as Exact Audio Copy (EAC) interacts very closely with your hardware. On first use a fine tuning is performed to achieve the best possible results, and alas, sometimes, a CD/DVD drive may not be supported.
If you want to play a movie or listen to an audio file, if you want it simple, easy and clean, if you just want it to work ...
The main feature list of freeCommander is a complete wish list for any decent filemanager, as a matter of fact for any filemanager that may rightfully be called: excellent!

This freeware has its origin as an ersatz, a replacement for MS Paint. The features now entitle it to be classified as advanced image and photo editor. The interface is simple, intuitive, and impressive. It presents the pics you’re editing in tabs that display a thumbnail preview of the image.
This functionality can be extended by plugins, which are provided and maintained by the Paint.NET community. There you also find an extensive help, and many, many tutorials.
This one is not for the immediate beginner. First get your feet wet with the ones above, find out what image editing is about, what you like about it, what you want to do with it. Then come back. The GNU Image Manipulation Program – GIMP surprises with an unusual user interface which is adventurous at least for those learning the basics of image editing. It will take you a while to realize its benefits - which will be easy when using this professional image editor under Linux.
FTP – File Transfer Protocol. This subject is not for the very beginner, who doesn’t usually need it. Normally, this protocol is handled very well by your browser and helps you download files quickly; hence the name. With your growing experience and possible wish to directly take part in the World Wide Web you may want to share your thoughts, ideas, insights, pictures, videos etc. with the rest of us and create your own website or weblog. That is the time when downloading with your browser is not enough anymore and you need an FTP client.
In the beginning of personal computing there was no desktop, no need to search it. Back then all you did was a file search, and some advanced filemanager offered a just as advanced search function enabling you to look for files within a certain date range, of a certain size, and even containing certain words.
You probably take a lot of pictures with your digital camera or your mobile, scan your old photographs into your machine for convenience, collect thousands of pics from the web and get just as many from your friends. Now before you can decide, what to do with them, you need some sort of organization with basic editing and file management functions. You are looking for a digital image viewer.
A somewhat secure way of entering the valley of tears is the attempt to copy your data onto a so called ‘optical drive’. Called ‘optical’ as the data are ‘burned’ by means of a ‘laser’ on a CD, DVD (and a BluRay disk). What looked so promising in offering ample storage room for data, backup, data exchange at a very reasonable price, what for a few moments let us dream of creating security copies of our audio and video CD/DVDs, soon turns into a possible nightmare. There are CD/DVD formats galore, and their number is equalled or even surpassed by the number of different hardware drives. Very easily you will find yourself starting a new carrier in creating CD, DVDs, BluRay etc
You probably have got a large CD collection and are tired of getting up all the time to find a certain track, artist, or album. Also, you don’t trust the disks and rather have a security copy – just for safekeeping. Also, you’d like to listen to your music in your car or on your MP3 player, so what you’re looking for is a program to help you copy the music to your disk in a widely known format such as MP3.
You cannot prevent your hard disk from crashing, a virus deleting, corrupting or taking your data hostage, or your left elbow hit the wrong key and delete them all by mistake.
Why is my new hard drive full?
Where has all the free space gone?
A rule of thumb many of us found to be true over the years is:
Any hard drive will be full up to 90% of its capacity within three months completely independent of its factual size.
Disk space and connection speed are rarely an issue today. But way back with the first PCs we discussed whether to a 10 mb hard drive would suffice and a 20 mb hard drive just might be too luxurious? Also Internet was not available let alone any fancy DSL or cable connection, and so we bought a dial up modem with the ginormous speed of 1200 bps. Portable media could be found as floppy disks starting with a capacity of 160 Kilobytes and slowly evolving to 1.4 Megabyte.
FileZilla is the one outstanding FTP client out there. It is not only “free as in free beer” but also “free as in free speech”, open source software, available for various platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac) and comes with a modular, intuitive user interface. If you get along with a file manager, you will get along with FileZilla too.
As mentioned above and fully equipped. Intuite GUI, ready to start from scratch.
