PUBLIC MARKS from ruadrift with tags linux & apps

For a while now, I have been considering the idea of drawing up a list of the best applications for Linux in 10 broad categories. The purpose of such a list would be to cover as many areas as possible while not overwhelming any single category with too many apps. I also thought it would be a good idea to involve my readers in this exercise so that I would have more choices to add to the final list than the ones I have come up with.
