"1 Preliminary Note
To fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Ubuntu desktop to
have the following software installed:
Graphics:
The GIMP - free software replacement for Adobe Photoshop
F-Spot - full-featured personal photo management application for
the GNOME desktop
Google Picasa - application for organizing and editing digital
photos
Internet:
Firefox
Opera
Flash Player 10
FileZilla - multithreaded FTP client
Thunderbird - email and news client
Evolution - combines e-mail, calendar, address book, and task list
management functions
aMule - P2P file sharing application"
