Software I frequently use in web design

I use various Linux distributions while working on personal web design projects. Below is a list of my favorite software packages.

Desktop and Terminal

• LAMP
• WordPress
• ssh
• sshfs – (creates a mounted file of an ssh connection)
• tar & gzip2 – (Manual backups via the terminal of my databasae and files.)

Graphic Design

• GIMP
• Inkscape

Audio and Video production

• kdenlive – video production for cuts and transtitions etc.
• audacity – audio editing, usually to clean up noise

Text Editors

This varies a little from distribution to distribution, I frequently favor what’s preinstalled with that system.

• gedit – (never fails me when I need a good text editor, Gedit isn’t pretty but it’s reliable)
• xed
• Scratch – Elementary OS
• Mousepad – XFCE Desktop’s
• nano – Terminal

Note-taking

Besides a pocket notebook to contain frequently used commands I use the either of the following

• Tomboy Notes
• Notes for XFCE
