My favourite apps and utilities part 108/19/2007 02:36 PMsmb4k – Great util for connecting to windows shares. I found the default network browser wouldn't allow me to see my Windows 2003 server, this util hit it no worries at all. Installed from the ubuntu repositries.
GnomeBaker – Awesome tool for burning CD's and DVD's.
Gaim – Instant messaging client with support for all the main networks. (Now replaced with Pidgin new version of gaim.
Notes 8 – I just love my notes... lol.. Email, database, webserver all rolled into one nice neat package. Installation was a nightmare but these instructions worked for me.

Tremulous - Great FPS game that the kids and I really enjoy playing. Not to heavy on the hardware, heaps of servers around the world and lots of fun.

Beryl - Incredible eye candy for Linux
This thing makes the features in Vista look about as interesting as a DOS box...!
Screenlets - Desktop widgets in my attempt to replace samurize
After a search the options I found where gdesklets, adesklets and screenlets... none of them are really as good as samurize (IMHO) but I did get my usage meter working in screenlets after lots of pain and agony.
All for now, will add another one soon... so much software so little time.
