what are the first 3 things you download excluding drivers. 1) Firefox 2) Mozilla Thunderbird 3) Google Toolbar I cant live without these
1) Firefox, 2) Photoshop, 3) Dreamweaver, 4) Flash, 5) Editplus, 6) FileZilla, 1a) Firefox extensions
Ubuntu. And that has everything I need. I'll build on it over time with applications I need, but it comes with Firefox for browsing, Open Office for work, and Pidgin for chatting. Perfect.
Why download? I have all the programs I need either on disc or on an external hard drive, guess they'd need to update but thats all.
