I hope this is the right forum section, please correct me if i'm wrong. Just trying to help out people trying to choose apps who are new to Ubuntu!
So far, the response i've been getting elsewhere has been quite overwhelming!

I am moving the thread to the ubuntu section and it will have a link in the "Getting Started with Linux section".
Also, why would ever recommend Chrome. As a Linux supporter, you should be accustom to reading TOSs. Basically, Google's TOS for Google.com, Gmail, and Chrome says that they have the right to record any date - personal and private - that happens while using their products. They then resell this data to corporations. Oh, no they don't sell your private data, but there's nothing in the law against them trading it with a partner or subsidiary company. So, you research something private, and suddenly your getting emails or ads that are targeted at selling you what ever you just researched. Never use Google, unless it can't be helped (yes I use google.com to research stuff, but I never use Gmail or Chrome because Google has no right knowing my private data).

I didn't actually recommend chrome, but actually Chormium, the open source base for Chrome, which i don't believe has those implications.
If you can, also write stuff about "mod"ing your Ubuntu, like... "10 things to do to make your Karmic an awesome office/work machine", or "gaming rig", etc... Like altNull said, there are SO many packets out there that sometimes it's hard to know where to go and what to do. This style of tutorial, for me, is the clearest, easiest way to learn.
Oh, and I agree about Google, they are evil :P I use yahoo mail.
ROTFLMAO! It's 0230 AM here on Thanksgiving morning, I just about blew my coffee out my nose reading this one. Thanks for the chuckle, alt. It was needed!
:woohoo:
