What is Digg?135 Comments
- YodaJones, on 08/31/2008, -2/+69Nice looking web site. Might even have some interesting content. Buried for ***** ad whoredom. You CAN get more than three of your twenty article features on one page. Piss off.
- MuffinFlavored, on 08/31/2008, -1/+60It isn't on one page, and the first 3 applications, I have never even heard of.
And I am living... - notwizt, on 08/31/2008, -0/+48The Sims Carnival
We've included one online game portal to show that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of games available to the Linux community from a browser, regardless of whether they make a Linux version. One of the newest is The Sims Carnival, which features a slew of arcade games, puzzles and even adventure games.
GTFO - trentrezn0r, on 08/31/2008, -1/+47These are my favorite:
cd
mv
rm
ps
netstat
pico
df
more
cat
tar
ls
Yah....they're classics. - kdesu, on 08/31/2008, -0/+43This appears to be the same article, but it actually loads, and all on one page: http://tech.uk.msn.com/news/article.aspx?cp-docume ...
- diggdiggerid, on 08/31/2008, -6/+40I thought the whole point of Linux was that it didn't come with all the bloated ***** like Windows, there is no "FIVE HUNDRED PROGRAMS EVERYONE MUST HAVE!!!!" Like hell everyone needs Qtfpsgui to experiment with ***** high dynamic range.
- thaskizz, on 08/31/2008, -0/+29That is a ***** of ads.
- mogebier, on 08/31/2008, -2/+27And on another note:
Please go to our ***** web site and accept our nice tracking cookies and we will toss in a virus or 2 just for fun.
And we hope you like all the ads. We posted it on Digg so we get a lot of click throughs for all our ads and you guys fell for it.
Thanks. - AddictedToMosh, on 08/31/2008, -3/+26Well I'm glad it's a website I CAN LIVE WITHOUT because its dead....
- solidcube, on 08/31/2008, -3/+24"[Positive Integer] [Subject] [Superlative hyperbole]"
Yay for new method of getting stories on Digg. - inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+21Holy *****, a Linux article on MSN? @_@
- subliminalurge, on 08/31/2008, -3/+21Buried as inaccurate. I can live without each and every one of those apps.
In fact, most of them I couldn't even find a use for if I tried. - KloroFormd, on 08/31/2008, -0/+15When I think of programs every Linux user needs, I'm thinking of bash, X window system, Firefox etc....
- STARTSOMETHING, on 08/31/2008, -0/+15Oh ads, I remember back before the adblock+ days, when I could see ads.
- ICLW, on 08/31/2008, -2/+15Been a Linux/Solaris (now open Solaris) shop since 98. I have never used one of these apps.
VLC
Amarok
GIMP
Firefox
Konqueror
KdenLive
DeVeDe
K3b
aterm
pidgin
Those I could not live without. - RobotBuddha, on 08/31/2008, -0/+13I love linux, but sometimes it seems like our advocates do more harm than good.
- norman619, on 08/31/2008, -0/+13To be fair this article is obviously targeted at actual Linux users. You failed reading comprehension didn't you?
- norman619, on 08/31/2008, -2/+15These are the games everyone wants to play..... You gotta love the denial there.
- FreddieD, on 08/31/2008, -1/+12Every week I click on a "20 Linux Applications You Can't Live Without" article expecting to find a diamond in the rough, and every week I am disappointed. I won't learn my lesson though, so I will still click on next week's submission.
- yessuz, on 08/31/2008, -2/+13omg.. what a waste of time....
- TheZorch, on 08/31/2008, -0/+10Please don't feed the trolls.
- neotrantor, on 08/31/2008, -0/+9the real list:
$ ls
attr bzip2 cpio domainname fuser head mbchk nano ps run-parts su umount ypdomainname
awk cat cut du gawk hostname mkdir netstat pwd sed sync uname zcat
basename chacl date echo gawk-3.1.6 igawk mkfifo nisdomainname rbash seq tail uncompress

busybox chown dirname expr groups ls mount pidof rm sleep tr wc

bzcat cp dnsdomainname fgrep gzip lsmod mv ping6 rnano stty tty yes - str1fe, on 08/31/2008, -0/+9That's why it's taking forever to load? I just assumed digg effect.
- TheZorch, on 08/31/2008, -0/+8Please don't feed the trolls.
- jerwong, on 08/31/2008, -0/+8How about Apache?
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+7Windows user is jealous ^
- LiberalKid, on 08/31/2008, -1/+8Emacs?.....
- rowjimmy, on 08/31/2008, -1/+7that's probably the worst list i've ever seen.
i'd say geany (for a gui-programmers-editor), pidgin (for im), swiftweasel (for a *nix-specific firefox build), firestarter (because iptables seems to confuse a lot of people), and then all the rest of the normal server stuff (apache, bind, mysql, etc etc etc) - Xanium4332, on 08/31/2008, -0/+6Dude, have you been living in the past or something?
- SickTear, on 08/31/2008, -0/+6And your sentence doesn't have a full stop!
- pjvandehaar, on 08/31/2008, -1/+7Then why, exactly, did you go to a link called 20 Linux Applications You Can't Live Without?
- DteK, on 08/31/2008, -1/+6Windows Ex Pee eh.you loose
- AanaknSkywalker, on 08/31/2008, -0/+5I could live without these.
- pcgamer1991, on 08/31/2008, -1/+6I had only heard about teeworlds and renoise...
What the list should have contained instead:
· Coreutils (ls, cp, rm, mv and other standard apps)
· Bash
· VIM
· GNU/Screen
· SSH
· Firefox
· Irssi
· Pidgin
· Akregator
· Mutt
· Xmonad - Gavagai80, on 09/01/2008, -0/+5You'll eventually die. If you had all 20 applications, though, you'd be immortal.
- basotl, on 08/31/2008, -0/+5My response was... There are ads on that site?
- inactive, on 08/31/2008, -6/+10One of the coolest things about Linux is the limitless software out there available for FREE with the click of a button. I've literally installed about 100 free games and music programs... a lot of the games are really well made too. Ubuntu makes me never want Windows again ever.
- SpamBuntu, on 08/31/2008, -4/+83 windows applications you can't live without:
anti-virus
firewall
spyware-remover - inactive, on 08/31/2008, -0/+4Hence, why lists like this article are pointless.
- hoogie, on 08/31/2008, -0/+4I wouldn't go so far as to say the open-source games are on the same level as commercial games, but I do find The Battle of Wesnoth to be ridiculously addictive, and there are a number of multi-player shooters that can satisfy your basic run-and-gun needs.
Actually, one of the things I like about running Linux is that there aren't many good games on it - so I don't waste as much time playing games as I used to.
But I just got the Starcraft Battle.net working, so there goes that. - mogebier, on 08/31/2008, -3/+7So ONLY people using Linux would be interested in looking??
Nice logic there.
Also, don't most people own more than 1 computer?? So they might be looking at Digg on a Windows or OSX computer. - xXIrsotehkewlXx, on 08/31/2008, -4/+8If you clicked, one would assume you are using linux. Those 2 viruses would be, in fact, just for fun.
- Kumah, on 09/01/2008, -0/+4None of those were relevant to my interests.
And the Sims Carnival was just ***** stupid... if I want games for linux I don't want ***** browser based flash games. - pkaoc, on 08/31/2008, -0/+4Thanks for wasting my time. who the hell dugg this?
- Acglaphotis, on 08/31/2008, -0/+3You can block the Unix/Linux section, you know.
- paulmer2003, on 08/31/2008, -0/+3Ugh. Lame articles. 20 apps? 5 pages? How about not.
- djpants428, on 08/31/2008, -1/+4vi > pico
- dtfinch, on 08/31/2008, -0/+3You mean wordpad and mspaint?
- Phusion, on 08/31/2008, -0/+3Well, that was a misleading link and a worthless article.
- Woknblues, on 09/01/2008, -0/+3I have been living without those apps for about 18 months so far. Maybe it's a slow death.......
