Hampshire LUG recommended software
In 2006 Hampshire Linux User Group voted on the recommended software for a new Linux user. I collated the results.
The original question was:
"Help us ease the pain for new users by building a list of software the LUG
thinks is friendly. Tell us what you would pick from these categories for a new
user"...
