Ubuntu Must-Have Apps
berglundma: I suggest: Openoffice.org - stable (3.1.0?),kivio or dia - diagramming,opera and/or firefox,gnucash,abobe acrobat reader (acroread), qcad, hp device manager (hplip?) if you have an hp printer, vlc media player, glabels - business cards and the like (I just prefer this to OOo for this purpose)This software covers most of my office/design type needs.
