The popularity of linux has finally captured 1% of desktops. Now, comes the need for good software which Ubuntu surely lacks. Personally, I am a Ubuntu Linux fan. There are a lot of top Ubuntu software posts available on the internet and all of them narrow down to around seven applications when combined. Not so cool!
Here is my list of softwares I have on my Ubuntu installation.
-
Billiards GL
This game has a sleek and smooth graphics created with Python. The interface is so interactive and features such attractive effects, youll just love it. The gameplay is also as good as any other billiards game with 360 degree navigation. Dont miss it. Download here.

Armagetron
Armagetron is my current favourite game on ubuntu linux. It is not as simple as it looks and needs quite some presence of mind to defeat the oppenent. And not just that, you can play it over the lan as a multiplayer game as well. Just try it once and make sure you dont get addicted to it. Download here.

Desktop Flickr Organizer
This software adds a flickr organizer to your desktop. So,now you can update and synchronize your photostream with a few clicks from on the desktop. Not only this, it has a split viewer panel which makes drag and drop valid. Another reason why i liked this software is that it is developed by an Indian. Download here.

Launchy
This is a really great application for Ubunut noobs.
For those who cannot find their installed applications anywhere in GUI links, can use Launchy to find their applications. Not only this, launchy can also find command line applications. Download here.

Xaos – Fractal Zoomer
Fractals are one of the most fascinating discoveries of mathematics. But I suck at mathematics. So in a few words, try out this software. It can generate around 30 fractals from custom functions and there are different rendering options available as well. Download here. Also check out the fractal gallery here.

Kasablanca
Kasablanka is a lightening fast FTP client for Unix based servers. And when i say lightening,it really means lightening. It can upload files at least 30% to 40% faster than Filezilla or gFTP. Download here.
The list never ends. Add any useful softwares you find.
I have edited the post and added download links as requested, but i recommend using the repositories as installing package-wise can cause dependency problems.
