Ubuntu Apps

So, I’m getting comfortable with my new Ubuntu installation, and have a lot of apps to find equivelants for that I used in Windows, as well as just configuring things.  Eventually I’ll compile a big list, but here’s what I have so far:

  • Pidgin – for IM/chat (supports Gtalk too!)
  • Avant Window Navigator – this is a macosx-like dock – still configuring it, but it looks very nice
  • Gimp – had to change the background, so fired up the gimp to join two images for the background – it has come a long way!  There’s still some things to get used to, but for the amount of actual image editing I do, I think it will be fine.
  • KeePassX – I switched to KeePass for windows, trying out the linux version
  • Picasa – was happy to know that my favorite image organizer is available on linux!
  • Banshee – supposedly a good iTunes replacement – will see
  • Digg
  • Del.icio.us
