Ubuntu Essentials

This is the list of essential softwares & packages you should have with Linux to fully enjoy the experience, of course this is what i feel & you can always suggest me to improve my list. In my further posts i'll try to write about these packages in detail

Let us start with the fun part of ubuntu which i like the most --

1]. Compiz Config settings manager -- This is the most common utility to decorate your desktop , give animation to you windows (please pardon me for my use of the word "Windows"). But i still wonder why Compiz manager does not comes with Ubuntu as a default package you need to download it.

2].Emerald Theme manager -- It gives the X effect to your PC.

3].Cairo Dock -- It my personal favorite Dock available for Linux with lots of cool applets.

4].Virtual Box -- In case you want to quickly use Windows or other distros of Linux.

5].Gnome Do -- Quickly organizes your most used applications on the Dock.

6]. Google Chrome -- Fast and my favorite browser . I'll later post how to install it & enable plugins for it.

7]. VLC media player -- Totem is good but VLC is the best.

Other packages are Ubuntu tweak , Clam Anti Virus (clamav) , Screenlates ....and the list goes on ..

How many do you have ????
