Thank you Valtam for stickying it and changing the title, also for your help Smile

Ghosting

http://redobackup.org/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/qt4-fsarchiver/

Internet cli application/browser

http://www.uzbl.org/

Code:
$ apt-cache policy uzbl

uzbl:

  Installed: 0.0.0~git.20120514-1.1

  Candidate: 0.0.0~git.20120514-1.1

  Version table:

 *** 0.0.0~git.20120514-1.1 0

        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Flash and java work with no special tweaks. My favorite terminal based browser.

Radio streaming in terminal

http://moc.daper.net/

Code:
$ apt-cache policy moc

moc:

  Installed: 1:2.5.0~beta1+svn20131120-1

  Version table:

        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

also a favorite of mine. Another is https://cmus.github.io/

Code:
apt-cache policy cmus

cmus:

  Installed: (none)

  Candidate: 2.5.0-4build1

  Version table:

     2.5.0-4build1 0

        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages

A good file manager I also like is

Code:
harry@harry-Latitude-XT2:~$ apt-cache policy spacefm

spacefm:

  Installed: 0.9.4-1

  Candidate: 0.9.4-1

  Version table:

     0.9.4-1 0

        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe i386 Packages

http://ignorantguru.github.io/spacefm/

I know spacefm is not maintained anymore by ignorant guru but there are some killer plugins for burning isos and other things in it. Plus it is a double paned file manager. It does not take up much space and can run alongside Thunar.

Depends on ones tastes I guess.

Would like a focus on easy to use, simple GUI equivalents, no terminal stuff as our target audience are Windows folk Smile

The review score was very high for Linux Lite, I know which one I would vote for Wink

It is out on the 30th September.

You rang?

Thanks to bitsnpcs for starting this thread. As a not-terribly-bright, ex-Windows user, I really appreciate it.

For whatever reason the original title was changed back to "Useful Links'. I have changed it back again to ' Linux Replacements for Windows Programs '.
