    Must-have Linux software recommendation thread

    This is for those using Linux and want to try out new applications. Here are a few I can remember.

    Hotot - Twitter client
    Awesome - Great minimal window manager, that has great window management if you're using a hi-res monitor
    Xchat - for IRC
    Chrome and Firefox - for browsing purposes
    Transmission - torrent client
    Banshee - Audio player

    I'm sure I've missed many. Let your recommendations flow~

    Wine (windows compatibility layer) - I don't really know if this is a must have(for everyone) but I would definitely need it.
    BTW, thanks for this thread, got ubuntu installed only yesterday, in dire need for some applications.
