everybuddy - kicks AOL IMs backside
xmms - X windows mp3 player ala winamp
opera - YES! tab-based browsing
star office - just say NO to M$ Office
mozilla - code base is used for netscape 6, but MUCH faster than netscape6
quake3
unreal tournament
jpilot - palm pilot desktop/sync tool
etc etc etc

I use KDE as my desktop, FWIW.

Good for you - soon you will be running your universe on linux... :)

Can't believe you hosers haven't mentioned www.freshmeat.net ;)

www.ximian.org - Gnome desktop software, sweet
www.linuxdoc.org - Help docs
www.lwn.net - Linux news
www.themes.org - Used to have tons of themes before they switched to the lame new site
www.securityfocus.com - Security site, place to sign up for bugtraq and other lists, if you want
www.slashdot.org - "News for Nerds" :)

If you want you can checkout my desktop screenshots. I don't know about you, but I like checking out other ppl's setups, sometimes you can get good ideas on how to setup your own stuff :)
