Some applications I have in my Ubuntu (Dapper Drake)

Some applications I have in my Ubuntu (Dapper Drake) Jan 11, 2007 // 5:35 am

It has been two weeks since I installed Ubuntu in my PC. I enjoy it! Really. I enjoy reading Ubuntu tutorials, updating packages, customizing my desktop, and more. Now, I put Ubuntu as my default OS (I still have Windows XP) installed.

About the applications I have, here are some:

For web browsers, I have Firefox, Opera, and Flock
I use GAIM 2.0.0beta5 instant messenging. It works great! Nice look.
OpenOffice is also here.
I use XMMS as music player. It’s simple. I also tried Amarok, but I decided to use XMMS. Anyway, I also have Rhythmbox.
Gnome Baker for CD buring application.
Evince for PDF viewing
Eye of GNOME for image viewer.
Akregator for RSS aggregator. In Windows, I use Omea Reader.
I haven’t used email client. I still use web-based email now, hosted by Google.
VLC for media player
I have Bluefish and Nvu for text editor.

For the RSS reader, I still use Google Reader as my primary RSS reader. I just exported my subscriptions from Omea, get the .opml file, and imported it. That’s all.

I am sure that there are still many interesting and useful applications. If you’re a Ubuntu Linux guru, would you mind sharing your ideas about recommended applications? Anyway, if you want to see my desktop screenshots, check my Picasa Web Albums.

3. The Evolution email client is great

I also use aKregator while I’m in KDE.
However, for Gnome, you might find Liferea worth trying.

Don’t forget to install the final version of flash player for linux available at adobe’s website.
