oh yess .. Kate is much much better ! i love the auto complete from what you've previously written .. pretty smart move .. all KDE programs have smart functions .. which makes their programs very handy
Of the apps you recommend, I find the most useful for the non-developer is VirtualBox. Its no londer necessary to dual boot with Windows. I can conserve the Windows drive (in my case a separate hard disk) for other uses.
Most importantly it gives me the capacity to experiment with other distros. I'm currently running Ubuntu Jaunty as my "main" OS, but I have installed other distros -mandriva, debian, knoppix, damn small linux, Open SUSE etc. --you get the picture. One can play with and evaluate the various linus distros and unix like systems. I really enjoy experimenting with apps and systems and intend to download some of the apps you listed. Thanks for that.
