As I understand it, the next distro of ubuntu will have libreoffice. If youre looking for non-CS new users, or for personal use, you need VLC.

We're going to try to include things from our classes, but there are lots of other useful packages that are more general - do you have any suggestions? Here's our list so far: DrJava (sucks, but is used for a class) OCaml (+ ledit ocaml, omake) Eclipse LaTeX, and some useful extra packages there (which ones?) Python (extra packages) qtoctave and regular command line octave vim and emacs extra packages git, svn mercurial MStt fonts libreoffice rather than openoffice -- Alec Story Cornell University Biological Sciences, Computer Science 2012
