Thunderbird, Gaim, Skype for comms
Firefox (of course) and Liferea for info
Rhythmbox for downloading podcasts
GnomeBaker for CD burning
EasyTag

But my killer app (and hardware)?  SlimServer music server software for 
my two wireless Slim Devices Squeezeboxes (driving hi-fi in conservatory 
and lounge), plus various amazing plugins (especially MusicIP mixer, 
running as a headless service).  I've run this music system under XP and 
Ubunutu, and all I can say is that with Linux it is utterly reliable(!).

Good question, Norman.  There's so much that makes Ubuntu a delight - 
and all of it free - that we don't need to inflate the importance of 
that other OS by spending our lives criticising it.

Thanks, and best wishes
