The programs I like:

- Eclipse + whatever plugins you need
- Meld (visual diff/merge)
- Banshee (not an awesome music player, but fine and can hook up to a

- Adobe stuff - AIR, Acrobat Reader, Flash plugin
- thwirl Twitter client (AIR based)
- Skype
- Gimp
- Open Office

There are all kinds of free server-based apps like music jukeboxes if
