NATed networks, into one easy-to-configure daemon)
package manager:
aptitude
pdf-reader:
acroread still has the best compatibility and feature set...takes a
long time to load, though.

OpenOffice.org
terminal emulator:
Geez, I dunno. Whatever comes up when I choose 'Terminal' from the

If you mean for talking to serial devices, I usually use 'screen'.

Mythplayer, or if I'm not using that, mplayer

OpenOffice.org, although I'm slowly moving towards Emacs + LaTeX for

anything deserving great honours (EG. GCC):
Amarok and Konqueror have each replaced two or three other,
individual packages for me, and they deserve kudos for integrating
new functionality in ways that make intuitive sense.
non-free:
Well, the program I've been booting into Windows to run most often,
lately, is Portal. ;)
