Ask HN: New Vista Desktop--what would you install?
The thread on what to install on a fresh Ubuntu install inspired me to create one for Vista. I just got a new desktop and have it dualbooted with Vista SP1 and Ubuntu 8.10. Up until now I've only used Ubuntu/XP.

- EastSmith 18y agoSame, but: + Spotify + Outpost Firewall + Autoruns and Process Explorer + WinSCP - Ultramon and Audacity Notepad2 instead of Notepad++
- nailer 18y agoI'd get the Windows 7 beta. It's really stable, the dock (ahem 'new taskbar') is nice, and UAC is less annoying. Anyway: * Poderosa, or Putty Connection Manager. Tabs beat 8000 terminal windows. * TortoiseSVN or the beta GIT app. * PowerShell. * eTextEditor. * xMing if you need an X display server.
