Hello,

I want to know from those who use linux, which apps you use for your daily tasks.
Things I'm especially interested is:
- E-mail
- Media player
- IM
- Office Suite
- Internet Browser

Which do you recommend?
And where can I find working hardware drivers for linux?

Thanx so long!

I'd think that most Linus distros have a lot of drivers but a lot of hardware manufacturers will have them at their websites too.
