It's interesting to think about how streamlined my home computer use has gotten in the past few years. I've gone from a gaming desktop and hours of playing MMORPGs to a little netbook and a small crop of low-intensity applications:
- Firefox
- Songbird (for music)
- Thunderbird (for occasional usenet lurking; I just do email through the web)
- GIMP (image editing)
- OpenOffice (word processing/spreadsheets)
- XChat (IRC)
- Pidgin (instant messenger)
I think all of those except Songbird were installed by default on my OS (Linux Mint).
