Linux, I was introduced to the Linux environment a fat 10 years ago (rather an underestimate I fear) as a non-computerscientist and although it was/is hard at times, I really like this setting much better than any other commercially available environment. Below is a very brief summary of my ideal work environment :
- Operating system : Linux,
- Window managers : IceWM and Enlightment,
- Software :
~ GIMP
: photoshop like thingie ..
~ Openoffice : the opensource office package (which can read and export .doc files
~ LaTeX/Lyx : my favorite editor (see tab above for more info)
~ kmail : a mail client from KDE (from the KDE environment)
~ Eterm : in transparancy mode my favorite terminal (from the Enlightenment environement)
~ xpdf : to read pdf files, although acroread works fine under linux as well
