I think Firestarter is good, it's really easy to use and powerful.

Admittedly, I got tired before I read every single link, but I read 90% of them and didn't see this one:

madman and rhythmbox

These two are fighting it out to see which will be 'the iTunes of Linux' I guess.

I like 'em both, but last I tried, I had some issues with madman in the stability department - though the interface might be a bit nicer. Rhythmbox is very stable, and the interface is fine for my needs.

I just discovered Midnight Commander and it is just plain awesome.

Here are a few of the applications I use on a daily basis.

GNOME-btdownload, a GNOME2 frontend for the bittorrent p2p system (gnome-bt.sf.net)

Dictionary, it's a program that comes default with GNOME, it looks up your search in various dictionaries very handy for us none english native speaking guys and gals. (www.gnome.org)

Synaptic, it's the frontend for apt-rpm (and apt-get as I recall), it makes searching for a package very easy compared to using the command line.

Don't you have to run Firestarter as root only?
