Hey people,
We all know there are a ton of cool applications for Linux - keeping track of them is the hard part and knowing all the apps out there is even tough. For instance i was looking and looking for someing to covert my mp3s to oggs, then rename and add ID3 tags. Tonight after I am l done with this task I find this!!
Cantus - an easy to use tool for tagging and renaming MP3 and OGG/Vorbis files.
So if you could please post something that is kinda unique lets everyone know. I hope to keep this thread sticky...
BTW people!! I will be editing posts just to keep a consistant format, e.g. the application name will be a link to the application and that is about all. The context will not change. I am guessing this will get bigger and one of these days i will wanna catagorize stuff.
And oh yea! all responses get an + carma point!
gkrellm. Definitely a needed app. It makes everything nice...
the standard in system monitering.
Stuff gkrellm can do with the right pluggin: volume control, ever important moniter for hardware specs, e.g. CPU temperature, mail notification, control of radio cards. loads 'o' stuff.
Prozilla - speed up downloads
Squid - speed up web browsing & block web ads
File Runner - excellent file manager
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

cdcd - console cdplayer with cddb
ogle (gui-less)- good dvd player with excellent keybindings
xine - good dvd and other media player
Video Lan Client - Another great DVD player for Linux.

mplayer = best video player for any OS
transcode = ripper of dvds and encoder of all things video

Tux Type - A game for kids to learn how to type. I play it myself too!! and in the grand tradition of Tux games - that penguin is gonna get some fish!
Audacity - Sound editor which is pretty darned nice!! I use it to combine songs that were meant to be combined but in turning them into oggs they were seperated.
ROX Filer, fastest GUI filemanager around.
