[Icon][Icon]And the nominees are. . .

• Post categories: Omni, FOSS, In The News

So, the 2005 LQ member's Choice awards are up for voting.

I cast mine already. If anybody cares:

Text editor: Vi(m) - the more I find out about it, the more impressed I am

DE: KDE - pretty much the same reason. I still loathe it and wouldn't want to use it myself, but that's beside the point :o)

WM: FVWM2 - try as they might, none of the others comes even close.

Distro: Gentoo. Even after extensive BSD exposure, I still rate portage as one of the most impressive package managers around.

Video app: Mplayer - it plays *everything*

Shell: BASH - 'nuff said

Audio app: XMMS - runs via GKrellM plugin, has a last.fm plugin, and controllable via the CLI

Game: No vote. Too many strong contenders

Browser: Firefox - need I say more?

Mail client: IMP - it could stand improving, but it's the best web-interface for multiple email accounts that I've found so far

Graphics app: No vote. Gimp and ImageMagick are just too good at their respective jobs to pick one.

LiveCD: DamnSmallLinux. I've been very impressed by DSL 2+ - Qemu works out of the box, the bootup has sped up noticeably, and it's a much smaller download than Knoppix. To say nothing of being easier to fit in a wallet :o)

The rest, I didn't vote on, as I had no real opinion.

I did find it difficult to vote as well since so many unrelated apps tend to find a place in one category. Also as you said, there are strong contenders in many categories to pick a single winner.
