10 Applications You Must Install On Ubuntu Lucid Lynx [Linux]

[LizardMan]

Hi guys! I found this info and I thought to share with you
This time around Ubuntu 10.04 is touting some great UI and design changes. Moreover, this being an LTS release, there are all the more reasons to go with the fresh install route. So if you decide to do so, come the 29th, here are some of the Ubuntu applications that you might want to install on a fresh Lucid Lynx install.
1.Ubuntu Restricted Extras
2.Google Chrome
3.The GIMP
4.VLC
5.Checkgmail
6.Gnome Do / Launchy
7.Beagle
8.Cheese
9.Dock
10.Compiz Settings Manager
More info here.

Checkgmail, only good for people who don't have anything other then Gmail, Chrome... never. It's Chromium and I stick to Firefox because that's what my favourite browser is. Dock, yeah, if you want to fully look like a Mac, go for it. That's all you need. Compiz isn't needed...Beagle never worked for me, but Catfish has.

Rawr, I hate these sites that bulk recommend things for an OS. Just use what you think is best... I'm downloading Xubuntu and Lubuntu's RCs because I'm hoping they're more stable then before, but I absolutely believe in use what you think is right. Yes I've got my stuff modded out the rear end... but I never like anything stock it seems.

I've spent quite a bit of time customizing Ubuntu 9.10 to my liking and I'll be happy as a lark, if those settings all stay in place, when I update to 10.04. What are the chances! LOL
