Essential Ubuntu Applications
General list of apps I use on my Ubuntu desktop:
- thunderbird – great email client
- banshee – quite possibly the best music/media player out there
- vlc – this can play any movie you throw at it
- transmission-daemon – great for running transmission when you aren’t logged in to the machine
- ushare – unpn/dlna media server – works great with xbox 360
- filezilla – personal favorite ftp client
- pidgin – empathy sucks
- gnome-do – this helped me transfer finger memory from OS X
- gparted – I am a storage guy – I format and look at things.
- ssh – is there anything ssh can’t do?
- ubuntu-restricted-extras – youtube is boring without flash
- xchat – for when I’m feeling extra creepy
- vpnc – great cisco compatible vpn client
- network-manager-vpnc – makes it guiful
- ttf-droid – I love the android font
- audacity – I cut up mp3s too
- terminator – awesome terminal app
