Being a linux super user \/ server administrator for many many years, i still use windows for my work \/ personal use, working with putty all the time to access the linx machines.<\/p>\n

So just in order to drop the laptop, and replace it with a flash stick in my pocket, and maybe sometimes an external hard drive (when i am dealing with big files), I have decide to drop windows all together, in favor of a linux installation on a flash stick in my pocket.<\/p>\n

Then, i can use the work PC, and the home PC, and my laptop anywhere without having multiple installations of the same thing.<\/p>\n

Because my computer has data aging back to 2001 that i sometimes need or use etc… I will probably be keeping my windows installation in my laptop even when i boot it from a flash stick with Debian Linux on it.<\/p>\n

But for this ambitious project, i have to compile a list of programs that replace my everyday use programs, i am not talking adobe premier here, i am talking more like adobe photoshop. and something to replace adobe dreamweaver.<\/p>\n

To do this, i will use a USB3 64GB flash stick, and dedicate 32GBs to a FAT\/NTFS system suitable for use on any windows PC, and a bootable EXT4 (has to be the second one because windows only sees the first partition on flash sticks) that boots debian wheezy. I have left a post somewhere on this blog on how to do that that i will link from here very soon.<\/p>\n

So, here is a list of things i use every day, and candidates for linux, I will keep growing this list as i go because i think it is very essential<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\nWindows<\/td>\nLinux<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I use it for all my image processing needs<\/td>\nAdobe Photoshop<\/td>\nThe Gimp<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I might use it for documents i get by email etc…<\/td>\nMicrosoft office<\/td>\nOne of the 2 popular office suites for Linux.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I use dreamweaver for everything, All the formatted documents i create for myself or to send to others are either HTML or PDF, plain text documents are the ones i use most of the time, but that comes with vanilla debian<\/td>\nAdobe dramweaver<\/td>\nQuanta Plus, Aptana, KompoZer, BlueGriffon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Web browser<\/td>\nFirefox<\/td>\nWhatever name the chose for Firefox<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWinSCP<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nFileZilla<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nVMWARE workstation<\/td>\nVMWARE workstation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nWindows Network<\/td>\nSamba<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
