<pre wrap="">Tshepang Lekhonkhobe has been running the Favourite FLOSS survery for
several years on the Debian list. This year, with his blessing, I take
the survey to the Ubuntu and Kubuntu lists. Below is a template where
you can fill in your favourite applications. If an app does not fit in
any of the categories, please put it under misc utilities and suggest
a new category. Please do not add what you have not really used. You
can include more than one entrant per category, but please don't
bloat.
