Productivity

An overview of packages that fit the properties of the eeepc. Packages should be lightweight, due to the limited capabilities of the eeepc's hardware; and also should be easily navigable without a mouse, due to the restrictions imposed on some by the trackpad.

Applications

PDF Viewers

  • xpdf: Lightweight and has a nice fullscreen mode with zoom

Word Processors

  • Abiword: A perfect fit for the eee, it's lightweight and lets you edit and save some standard formats (.doc, .rtf, .pdf,...) no .odt though unless you install the plugins (~10MB)

Web browsers

  • Netsurf: Small, but modern webbrowser in developement. No tabs yet though

  • Links2: Lightweight Webbrowser with text-mode, SVGA and X support. No CSS support.

  • Opera: Non-free, efficient webbrowser with full-screen mode, needs less disk space than Iceweasel/Firefox, etc. but is faster and more featureful (if you don't count addons).

  • Vimperator: Iceweasel plugin that gives Iceweasel vim-like keybindings and removes msot gui functions

  • lynx: Lightweight text-based web browser.

Chatting

  • irssi: Light text only IRC client. Very extensible and scriptable.

  • naim: ncurses AIM, ICQ, IRC, and Lily CMC client, that's also quite extensible.

Mail/News Aggregators

  • mutt: Powerful, customizable e-mail client. Feature-rich, lightweight, and runs in a CLI. Quite lightweight.

  • rsstail: Very minimalist rss aggregator. Acts pretty much like tail for rss feeds.

  • nrss: Ncurses rss feed aggregator. Single pane design, fast, and lighweight

  • newsbeuter: Another CLI rss aggregator. Similar keybindings to mutt. Easy to navigate through quickly only using a keyboard.

Desktop Environment

Window Manager

  • LXDE : window manager fit for the need of the EeePC

  • ratpoison: Keyboard driven window manager with no window borders or title bars, Keybindings very similar to screen(1)

  • flwm: Fast and Light Window Manager (the name says it all)

  • [wiki:Awesome_(window_manager) awesome]: fast and light tiling window manager

System Tray / Panel

  • trayer: Lightweight system tray from the FVWM-Crystal project and based on fbpanel. (In comparison to fbpanel a system tray only)
