original description

For some time I have been playing with various Linux distro (Ubuntu in particular) and I noticed that some of the applications I use more often than others.  I keep trying various applications on Ubuntu, mainly because an abundance of them are available in library for FREE and there is no reason you shouldn’t try them. The applications vary from music players, browser, photo management, disc burning tools and email clients etc etc.  The list just goes on and on.. As you can guess, being an open source, you have limitless options for any particular application.  As Linux is becoming popular day by day, more and more applications are being developed to satisfy the growing needs of the users and the community. Before you start reading this post further I would just you to please read "20 things to do after installing Ubuntu Linux" to get the bare minimum applications and plug-ins for your Ubuntu installation and then come back here to read more. I am happy to introduce you to the best and must have Ubuntu (Linux) applications: (Almost all applications are available in Synaptics or through direct download. However if you find difficulty installing any application mentioned here, let us know in comments.) Browser Mozilla Firefox and Opera Browser: Mozilla Firefox is the default browser for Ubuntu users.  No doubt it is the best browser in the world, and with amazing list of add-ons it just becomes irreplaceable.  Even then I would recommend you to give Opera browser a try. I have found Opera being faster than Firefox sometimes.  Download and install Opera from here. Enhancements WINE: Sometimes people refer WINE as a Windows Emulator but it is not an emulator.  In official terms, Wine is translation layer which is capable of running Windows applications.  Though not all applications can be installed using WINE, yet it is the best choice for some Windows only software to run under Ubuntu.  Learn more about WINE at http://www.windhq.com.
